Ground Beef and Potato Stir-Fry

Ground Beef and Potato Stir-Fry

Ingredients

500g ground beef

700g potatoes

1 medium onion

1 garlic clove

1 red bell pepper (optional)

1 tbsp tomato paste (or 2 tbsp tomato purée)

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp herbes de Provence

Olive oil or other cooking oil

Salt, pepper

Fresh parsley for serving (optional)

Preparation

1. Prepare the ingredients

Peel and dice the potatoes.

Slice the onion and mince the garlic.

Cut the bell pepper (if using) into small pieces.

2. Cook the potatoes

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat a drizzle of oil.

Sauté the diced potatoes over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.

Stir regularly. Season lightly with salt. Set aside.

3. Cook the meat

In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes.

Add the ground beef and cook until well browned.

Add the tomato paste, paprika, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

4. Mix and finish cooking

Return the potatoes to the pan. Gently toss to coat everything well.

Cook for another 5 to 10 minutes over low heat to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips

For a more indulgent version: add grated cheese at the end of cooking or top with a fried egg.

You can add peas or green beans for an even more complete dish.
