Ground Beef and Potato Stew (Khoresh Sibzamini)

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 2 medium Potatoes and cut them into 2.54 cm cubes. Finely dice the 1 medium Onion.
2. 2Place a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven on the stove over medium heat (about 175°C / 175°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the about 450 g of Ground Beef. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned all over, about 5-7 minutes.
3. 3Add the diced onion to the pot with the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. 4Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of Turmeric and the 1/2 teaspoon of Cumin. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. 5Pour in the 1 28 oz can of Diced Tomatoes (undrained), the 2 tablespoons of Tomato Paste, the 1 cup of Water, the 1/2 teaspoon of Salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon of Black Pepper. Stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes.
6. 6Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine. Cover the pot and continue to simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the stew has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7. 7Serve the Ground Beef and Potato Stew hot. It pairs well with rice or bread.
