For the Beef:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef
For the Vegetables:
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
For the Potatoes:
- 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup beef stock or water
For Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2–3 green onions, chopped
Spices:
- 1 tablespoon cumin, divided
- 2 teaspoons paprika, divided
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided

- Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, season with half the spices, and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Cook the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the cubed potatoes. Season with the remaining half of the spices. Pour in 1 cup of beef stock, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Saute Vegetables: Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Saute until the vegetables are softened.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, mixing well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef seasoning.
