1 tablespoon parsley, freshly chopped (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a skillet with a splash of oil at medium-high. Toss in the beef, sprinkle on the salt and pepper, spread it out, and let it sit untouched for about 3 minutes to achieve a browned crust.
02 -
Break the beef into pieces and cook for a couple more minutes. Next, stir in the onion and let it cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
03 -
Pour in the beef broth, mix in the potatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Bring it to a boil, cover the pan, and lower the heat to medium-low.
04 -
Simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, stirring now and then, until the potatoes are soft and tender. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
# Notes:
01 -
If you want to, you can discard the extra fat from the beef before moving on.
02 -
Once the potatoes soften up, stir gently so they don’t fall apart.
03 -
To thicken the sauce, uncover the pan in the last couple of minutes.
