Ingredients
To make this delicious skillet meal, you will need:
- 1 lb beef stew meat (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 2 medium potatoes (peeled and cut into cubes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth (or water)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)
Equipment Needed
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Knife and cutting board
- Spoon or spatula for stirring
- Measuring spoons
- Plate for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden and crispy on the outside. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
- In the same skillet, add the cubed beef and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Brown the beef over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned on all sides.
Step 3: Add Beef Broth
- Pour in the beef broth, stirring to deglaze the skillet and lift any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Let the beef simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the beef to cook through and the broth to reduce slightly.
Step 4: Combine Beef and Potatoes
- Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet with the beef.
- Stir everything together so the potatoes absorb the savory flavors of the beef and broth.
- Cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Once everything is cooked and well combined, remove from heat.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch.
- Serve the beef and potato skillet hot, and enjoy!
Tips for a Perfect Beef and Potato Skillet
- For Crispier Potatoes: Let the potatoes sit in the skillet without stirring too much in the first few minutes to get a nice crispy texture.
- Customize with Veggies: You can add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or peas for added color and flavor.
- Enhance the Flavor: For a deeper flavor, add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce along with the beef broth.
