Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef or thinly sliced sirloin
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes for a kick
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the beef until browned; don’t crowd the pan. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, toss in onions and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and slightly translucent, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Add diced sweet potatoes and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until theyStart to soften, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Return the beef to the pan. Stir in paprika and cumin, plus salt and pepper. Pour in broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Simmer 8–10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and flavors mingle. If you want more color, crank the heat for a quick final sear.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. If you like a little heat, sprinkle in chili flakes. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve.
