Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned through.
Stir in the diced sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the onions become translucent.
Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper, stirring for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a light simmer.
Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the lid and increase heat slightly for 2 minutes to allow any remaining liquid to glaze the beef and vegetables.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
