Ground Beef With Herb-Roasted Potatoes & Steamed Broccoli

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (85% lean recommended for optimal flavor and moisture)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
2. Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, dried rosemary, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
4. Cook the ground beef: While the potatoes are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, then add the minced garlic.
5. Add the ground beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through.
6. Steam the broccoli: Steam the broccoli florets in a steaming basket over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes. Toss with butter and season to taste.
7. Combine and serve: Serve the ground beef alongside the herb-roasted potatoes and steamed broccoli.
