Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

4 medium potatoes, diced

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix

1 cup beef broth

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

    Brown the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon (about 6-7 minutes). Drain excess fat, if necessary.

      Add Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes, coating them with the beef mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to begin to soften.

        Seasoning & Liquids: Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce. Sprinkle with paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything to combine well.

          Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

            Finish with Veggies: Once the potatoes are soft, add the frozen peas and carrots mix. Stir them into the beef and potatoes, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the veggies are heated through.

              Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.
