Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the vegetables by dicing the red onion and red bell peppers, then cube the large yellow potatoes.

   Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with ice water, letting them soak for at least 30 minutes.

   Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them completely dry.

   In a bowl, toss the dried potatoes with the rice flour or cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated.

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef, diced onion, and diced bell peppers. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and chili powder. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and the vegetables have softened.
