This is a latin style dish that I adapted and made into my own when Covid 19 happened and stores ran out of tomato sauce. In a way, I’m glad people stock piled tomato sauce because I would have never come across Mee’s Kut tomato sauce which is infused with additional spices that takes this dish to a whole new level.
Ingredients:
- 1 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ Onion (white or brown), diced
- 1 TBSP minced garlic
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced
- 1 lbs Lean Ground Sirloin or Beef
- 1/2 cup Stuffed Pimento Olives
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 8-oz jar of Mee’s Kut Tomato Sauce. If you can’t find that you can us regular tomato sauce.
Note: you can find the sauce here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B06WW4JQBD/ref=dp_olp_afts?ie=UTF8&condition=all
Directions:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté onions, garlic, green and red peppers in extra virgin olive oil for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add ground beef to skillet and crumble and brown.
- Season mixture with salt, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper.
- After meat has browned and is no longer pink, add tomato sauce and olives.
- Mix well and cover.
- Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Serve with rice.
I get asked a lot about that meat chopper. It’s by far one of the best kitchen utensils I own!
