Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Potatoes: Cut a 1/4-inch slice off the bottom of each potato so it sits flat on a cutting board. Cut more 1/4-inch slices straight down and then cut potatoes into sticks. Turn sticks and cut across to create a uniform dice. Transfer to a bowl of cold water. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Brown the Beef: Combine butter and olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until butter melts. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a flat-edge utensil, until crumbly. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Cook Potatoes: Drain potatoes and add to the beef with a generous pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes just start to soften. Smooth mixture in the skillet and press against the bottom of the pan to help everything get nice and crusty. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)

04

Step

Add Onions and Mushrooms: Stir in onions and mushrooms and add another pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and mushrooms have softened and taken on some color. Season with black pepper, cayenne, and rosemary. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)

05

Step

Incorporate Peppers: Add bell pepper, poblano pepper, and another pinch of salt. Cook until peppers are tender and the rest of the ingredients are dark and crispy. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Finish and Serve: Stir in green onions and cook for a few more minutes. Remove from the heat and serve immediately. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of hot sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
Feel free to experiment with different types of peppers or vegetables based on your preference and what you have on hand.
To elevate the dish, top with a fried or poached egg dusted with cayenne pepper and a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.

    I didn't have poblano peppers, so I used green bell peppers instead, and it still turned out great.
