Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (900g) beef or lamb, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Meat

Heat the vegetable oil or ghee in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.

Add the beef or lamb pieces and cook until browned on all sides.

Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pan. Cook until the onions are translucent.

Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook for another minute to allow the spices to release their aroma.

Add Vegetables

Add the cubed potatoes, diced red and green bell peppers to the pan. Stir to combine.

Pour in the beef or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes and meat are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.

Enjoy your meal!
