Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or venison
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 cup beef broth or water
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the ground beef or venison to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and no longer pink.
Step 5
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if necessary.
Step 6
Push the meat mixture to one side, and add the tomato paste to the cleared portion of the skillet. Cook the tomato paste for 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor, then stir it into the meat mixture.
Step 7
Pour in the beef broth or water and stir to combine.
Step 8
Add the paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring well to evenly coat the meat.
Step 9
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Step 11
Serve hot as a filling for tacos, on top of rice, or as a component in casseroles. Enjoy!
