Start by peeling and dicing 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Sauté the sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender.
Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet and add 1 pound of ground beef to the other side. Break the beef apart with a spatula and cook for about 5 minutes until browned.
Stir the beef and sweet potatoes together, then add 1 small diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Pour the glaze over the beef and sweet potato mixture, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish. Serve hot, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
