Ingredients
- 400g ground beef (preferably lean)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color you fancy)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: Grab a bloody frying pan and heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Don’t just stand there, get it hot!
- Sauté the Veggies: Toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté them until they’re soft and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir it, don’t just let it sit there!
- Add the Garlic: Now, throw in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Keep an eye on it – you don’t want burnt garlic, do you?
- Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the pan. Break it up with a spatula and cook until it’s browned all over. This should take about 7-10 minutes. Don’t let it sit there in a lump – we want it nicely browned!
- Season It Right: Once the beef is browned, sprinkle in the smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir it well, making sure every bit is seasoned perfectly.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes. This allows those flavors to mingle beautifully.
- Plate Up: Serve it in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley. Make it look inviting – presentation matters!
