How to Make Belize Beef On Spiced Potatoes
- In a large nonstick skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 1/2 teaspoons of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of jerk seasoning to the beef. Stir well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Uncover the skillet and continue simmering for another 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the beef simmers, prepare the potatoes: Cut 2 large russet potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Pierce each slice with a fork several times.
- Dip the potato slices in cold water to prevent sticking. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and jerk seasoning.
- Arrange potato slices in a single layer on a nonstick baking pan. Broil 3-6 inches from the heat for 10-12 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.
- In a small bowl, combine your desired topping ingredients (e.g., sour cream, chopped cilantro, shredded cheese) with 1 tablespoon of the reserved tomato juice from the can.
- Season the topping with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the beef mixture over the broiled potatoes.
- Serve immediately, topped with your desired topping.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
