Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or venison
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 cup beef broth or water
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef or venison to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and no longer pink.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if necessary.
Push the meat mixture to one side, and add the tomato paste to the cleared portion of the skillet. Cook the tomato paste for 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor, then stir it into the meat mixture.
Pour in the beef broth or water and stir to combine.
Add the paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring well to evenly coat the meat.
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Serve hot as a filling for tacos, on top of rice, or as a component in casseroles. Enjoy!
