Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion (medium, chopped)
• 2 carrots (medium, peeled, diced)
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 pound red potatoes (small, quartered)
• 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 can tomato paste
• 2 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add chopped yellow onion and diced carrots to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the beef and vegetables, stirring to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute.
4. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the quartered red potatoes, dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
6. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, you can add an extra tablespoon of flour with the tomato paste. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days.
