Equipment Needed

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
2. Cube the beef stew meat into small, even pieces for uniform cooking.
3. Season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

Step 2: Cook the Potatoes

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and cook them for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and slightly crispy on the outside. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Brown the Beef

1. In the same skillet, add the seasoned beef cubes.
2. Cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.

Step 4: Combine Beef and Potatoes

1. Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet with the beef.
2. Stir to combine, and cook everything together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

1. Once everything is cooked and the potatoes are tender, remove from heat.
2. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
3. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty beef and potato skillet!
