Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 cup (diced) onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup water or beef broth
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and fully cooked through.
Step 4
Carefully drain any excess grease from the skillet, if needed.
Step 5
Stir in the chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the spices evenly coat the beef mixture.
Step 6
Pour in the water or beef broth and lower the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat, and your seasoned ground beef is ready to serve. Use it immediately in your favorite recipes or store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
