Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 400 grams canned chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 250 milliliters beef stock
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Increase the heat to high, add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned all over, approximately 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the canned chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, incorporating them well with the meat.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly to combine all the spices with the mixture.
Pour in the beef stock, bring the mixture to a simmer, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 20 minutes, remove the lid and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side such as pasta, rice, or bread.
