Curried Ground Beef with Peas and Potatoes
Description
This recipe, Curried Ground Beef with Peas and Potatoes, starts with sautéed garlic and ginger, enhanced by curry powder, turmeric, and a touch of crushed red pepper. Ground beef is cooked with these spices to build a rich flavor foundation. Cubed russet potatoes and beef broth are added and simmered until the potatoes are tender and the broth concentrates. Frozen peas are stirred in last to add color and a fresh pop. The slow simmer allows the flavors to meld and the potatoes to soften within the spiced sauce.
The result is a savory, comforting curry-like dish with a blend of tender ground meat, soft potatoes, and sweet peas. The garlic and ginger add warmth, while the curry and turmeric spices give a mild earthiness. This preparation suits a single skillet approach for minimal cleanup and a satisfying one-pan meal.
This dish can be served on its own or accompanied by rice or bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. It’s suitable for a casual dinner when you want a filling plate with homestyle curry flavors and simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic $0.32, minced
- 1 tsp ginger $0.10, grated fresh
- 2 Tbsp neutral cooking oil $0.08, generic cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp curry powder $0.30
- 1 tsp Turmeric $0.10
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper $0.02, optional
- 1 lb. ground beef $5.49, 15% fat or less
- 1 russet potato $0.63, ¾ lb
- 1 cup beef broth $0.13
- 1 cup peas $0.50, frozen
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
- 2 green onions $0.22, sliced, optional
Instructions
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and cooking oil to a large deep skillet. Sauté the garlic and ginger over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the curry powder, turmeric, and crushed red pepper and sauté for one minute more.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with the spices and sauté until the beef is cooked through.
- While the beef is cooking, peel and cube the potato into ½-inch pieces.
- Add the cubed potato and beef broth to the skillet. Stir to combine with the ground beef. Place a lid on the skillet and turn the heat up to medium-high. Allow the broth to come up to a boil.
- Once the broth reaches a boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and allow it to continue to simmer for 10 minutes with the lid in place (stir occasionally). After ten minutes, the potatoes should be tender. Remove the lid and simmer for a few more minutes, or until most of the broth is evaporated.
- Finally, stir the frozen peas into the beef and potato mixture and heat through. Give the curry beef a taste and add salt to taste (about ½ tsp). Top with sliced green onions and serve hot.
