Description

A hearty and comforting side dish or light main featuring tender potatoes, crisp green beans, and smoky beef tossed in a savory ranch seasoning. Simple to make and always a crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 pound small red or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 strips of beef, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1. Cook the chopped beef in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. Remove beef with a slotted spoon, reserving about 2 tablespoons of beef fat in the skillet. Set beef aside.
  2. 2. Add chopped yellow onion to the skillet with beef fat. Cook over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. 3. Add cubed potatoes to the skillet. Stir to coat and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes begin to soften and brown lightly.
  4. 4. Add trimmed green beans to the skillet and stir to combine with potatoes and onions.
  5. 5. Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to distribute.
  6. 6. Pour in chicken broth or water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until green beans are tender-crisp and potatoes are fully cooked. Stir occasionally.
  7. 7. Uncover, and if too much liquid remains, simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce. Stir in most of the cooked beef, reserving some for garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with reserved beef and optional fresh herbs.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop in a skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of liquid, or in the microwave. This dish is not ideal for freezing.
