Instructions
For the Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Add the prepared potatoes, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to a bowl and toss well to combine and coat.
Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan, cut side down.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
For the Beef:
While the potatoes are roasting, add the ground beef to a large skillet along with the diced onions. Over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no pink colour remains. This should take about 7-8 minutes. Stir often.
Next, add the garlic and stir into the beef and onion mixture. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the salt, ground black pepper, Worcestershire Sauce, and tomato paste. Add the dried red chili flakes too now, if using. Stir well into the beef and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring often.
Assembly:
Once the potatoes are ready, transfer them to the skillet with the beef and onions. Add the parsley. Toss gently to coat and mix thoroughly.
