Oven-Baked Beef and Potato Skillet

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 4 cups (about 600g) potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 cup (240ml) beef broth
• 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In an oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly translucent.
• Add the beef slices to the skillet and sear them for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they develop a nice sear.
• Stir in the cubed potatoes, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Sauté everything together for another 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors.
• Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, and give everything a good stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
• Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
• Once done, carefully remove the skillet from the oven (remember to use oven mitts as the handle will be hot). Garnish your Oven-Baked Beef and Potato Skillet with chopped fresh parsley.
• Serve hot and enjoy your hearty, oven-baked meal!

Tips for making beef and potato skillet

Cooking Tips

• Choosing the Right Beef: Opt for thinly sliced beef, such as sirloin or ribeye, to ensure it cooks quickly and remains tender. You can even use leftover cooked beef for added convenience.
• Uniform Potato Cubes: To ensure even cooking, cut your potatoes into uniform cubes. This ensures they’ll be tender and flavorful when the dish is ready.
• Searing for Flavor: Searing the beef in the skillet before adding other ingredients helps lock in its juices and develop a rich flavor.
• Seasoning: Don’t be shy with seasonings. Paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper all play essential roles in enhancing the dish’s taste.
• Creamy Finish: The heavy cream provides a luscious, creamy finish to the dish. Add it slowly while stirring to create a smooth and velvety sauce.

Serving Suggestions

• Fresh Green Salad: A crisp green salad with vinaigrette dressing complements the dish’s richness.
• Crusty Bread: Serve with slices of crusty bread for mopping up the creamy sauce.
• Garnish Galore: Top your skillet with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a burst of color and freshness.
• Wine Pairing: A glass of red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, complements the hearty flavors beautifully.
• Customize Your Veggies: While the classic recipe uses potatoes, you can experiment with other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or mushrooms.
