Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.25 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.
Stir in the tomato paste, ensuring it evenly coats the beef and onions.
Add the beef broth, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve hot as a filling for tacos, over rice or pasta, or use as a topping for baked potatoes. Enjoy!
