ASIAN GROUND BEEF STIR FRY

Steps:

• Heat skillet to medium heat and add about 3 tbsp olive oil.
• Add the onions and a little salt and pepper.
• Cook a few minutes until onions are almost translucent.
• Add garlic.
• Add potatoes and about 1 tablespoons more olive oil.
• Stir with onions and garlic.
• Cover skillet and let cook 4-5 minutes, stirring a couple times. Potatoes should now be slightly fork tender.
• Add ginger, paprika and cayenne and stir.
• Make a "hole" in the mixture, exposing a small circle of the bottom of the skillet and add sesame oil to it.
• Stir ingredients well and let cook another couple minutes.
• Remove ingredients from skillet to a bowl and set aside.
• Add a little more olive oil and brown the ground beef.
• Mix in a dash of salt and pepper.
• Drain liquid, leaving a little bit in the pan.
• Add the onion/garlic/potato mixture back to pan and combine with beef.
• Add soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and stir well.
• Taste mixture and add whatever you think it needs. I usually add a little more ginger at this point. Soy sauce adds tangy/salty flavor, rice wine vinegar is sour, etc.
• After cooking a couple more minutes, add cilantro and stir well.
• Serve by itself or over steamed rice.
• Enjoy!
