Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • ½ bell pepper chopped (I use a mixture of colors)
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1.5 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbs tomato paste
  • 1 tbs paprika
  • ½ tbs adobo
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 potato peeled and diced
  • 1 splash red wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Add the spices, onions, garlic, peppers, and red wine vinegar to the ground beef and mix together. Let sit for about 20 minutes.
  • Over medium high heat, add a touch of olive oil to a skillet with high sides. Dump in the beef mixture and let cook for about 7 minutes. Drain out the excess fat and return to the heat.
  • Add the beef broth, potatoes, tomato paste, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 15 minutes. Uncover and let cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid is soaked up.
