Cuban Style Sautéed Ground Beef

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound Medium Ground Beef
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 medium can of diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup green olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

Add oil to a pan over medium high heat. Place the ground beef in and fry until browned.

Add in the onion and garlic. Stir and saute until fragrant.

Add in the Italian seasoning, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir and fry for a few minutes. Pour in the tomatoes, vinegar, raisins, and olives. Stir until combined. Lower the heat and simmer for about 4 or 5 minutes.

Serve over rice and garnish with parsley. Enjoy!

TIPS:

Substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken for a lighter twist.

Experiment with the combination of aromatics like onions, garlic, and bell peppers to customize the flavors according to your preference.

Serve the sautéed ground beef over a bed of fluffy white rice for a classic presentation. Try making some nachos with it. It's also delicious as a filling for tacos, empanadas, or stuffed bell peppers.

It freezes well up to 3 months in an airtight container, so be sure to consider making a double batch. Use the leftovers to create a flavorful sandwich, wrap, or even to top a baked potato.
