Equipment

skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup fresh tomato chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 cups golden potatoes diced
  • 1 cup carrot diced
  • ½ cup green peas fresh or froozen
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt more if needed
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet over medium heat, saute the onions and garlic until translucent. Add tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until it soften.
  • Add ground beef, soy sauce, salt, and pepper; break the meat into pieces, stir, and let it cook on medium heat until the ground meat turn light brown.
  • Pour tomato sauce and let the meat simmer until it is tender for about 20 minutes.
  • Add potatoes and carrots; cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the veggies are almost soft but not too soft. We want them to be cooked but not mushy.
  • Add green peas and stir until everything is well incorporated. Taste tests and be sure to adjust your seasoning accordingly. Turn off the heat and cover it with a lid. It will continue cooking while it is hot. After five minutes, it’s ready to serve.

Notes

Recipe Notes:

  • You can substitute the ground beef with ground pork or ground chicken or a mix of both types of meat.
  • Add a handful of raisins to add some sweetness.
  • Double up this recipe if feeding more people or if you wanted to do a meal prepping for a weekly lunch and dinner. 
  • Storing leftovers in a glass container after cooling completely is ideal to keep them longer in the fridge.
