Ground Beef and Potatoes Skillet (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Items

01 - 1 pound ground beef (sirloin, chuck, or round)

02 - 1 pound Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

03 - 1 small onion, finely diced

04 - 3-4 garlic cloves, minced

→ Seasonings and Liquids

05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

06 - 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

08 - 1 tablespoon tomato paste

09 - 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

10 - 1/2 cup beef broth

→ For Garnish

11 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Get your skillet nice and hot with the oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, spread it out, and let it cook untouched for 3 minutes to get a good brown crust

02 - Break up the beef and cook 2 more minutes. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. Then add garlic and tomato paste, cooking another 1-2 minutes

03 - Stir in the potatoes, broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Once it's bubbling, cover the pan and reduce heat to medium-low

04 - Let it cook gently for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are fork-tender. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed

# Notes:

01 - You can drain excess fat after browning the beef if desired

02 - Stir gently once potatoes start softening to prevent them from breaking

03 - For less sauce, uncover the pan for the last few minutes of cooking
