Notes
Be sure to dice potatoes into uniform cubes so they cook evenly. The smaller you cut them, the faster they cook.
I like to season the ingredients as they cook. I recommend mixing the spices together so you can gradually add them during the cooking process.
If you don't want this dish to be as saucy, add 1 1/2 cup broth after adding the beef back to the skillet. You can also allow the dish to simmer uncovered longer, and the liquid will reduce.
