Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, or add a dash of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat if you’re feeling adventurous.
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper, allowing the spices to coat the beef mixture evenly.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes and beef broth to the skillet. Stir well, ensuring the sweet potatoes are submerged in the liquid.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Uncover the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high to allow any excess liquid to evaporate, stirring occasionally.
- Once the liquid has reduced, sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Remember, as Mama Lu taught me, patience is key. Letting the flavors meld together is what makes this dish so special.
