Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by chopping the onion, bell pepper, and mincing the garlic. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Sauce and Seasonings

    Stir in the tomato sauce, raisins, Spanish olives, ground cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the flavors meld together.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the picadillo over white rice with a side of black beans.
