How to Make Ground Beef Picadillo
- Season 1 lb ground beef generously with 1 tbsp adobo seasoning. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the seasoned ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon as it browns. Cook until browned thoroughly, about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
- Stir in 1 tsp dried oregano and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry red wine, 2 tbsp white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup pimientos (chopped), and 1/2 cup green olives (sliced).
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot over rice or with your favorite side dishes.
