A quick and easy hearty homemade comfort meal combining tender potatoes and savory minced beef with simple pantry staples for a soul-soothing flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g (1.1 lbs) minced beef
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes preferred)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
  • 250ml (1 cup) beef stock
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add minced beef to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 7-8 minutes until browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat if desired.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Cook for 2 minutes to release flavors.
  5. Add diced potatoes and 1 cup beef stock to the pan. Stir to combine.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until potatoes are tender.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. If too thick, add a splash more stock or water; if too watery, cook uncovered for a few minutes to reduce.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Drain excess fat from mince if you prefer a leaner dish. Uniformly cut potatoes to ensure even cooking. Use a lid during simmering to trap steam and cook potatoes without drying out the mince. Adjust seasoning at the end. For extra texture, lightly mash some potatoes after simmering. Can substitute beef with turkey, lamb, or lentils for vegetarian version. Use gluten-free Worcestershire sauce or coconut aminos for gluten-free option. Can be cooked in a slow cooker after browning mince.
