1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Chop the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Vegetables

   In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

3. 3

   Brown the Meat

   Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes.
