Cuban Beef Picadillo
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook, crumbling it with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 to 8 minutes . Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Lower the heat to medium and add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Then, stir in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. Optional: pour in the white wine and cook, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, until evaporated.

  4. Stir in the paprika, cumin, oregano, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  5. Cover and simmer on medium-low for 15 minutes.

  6. Add the currants (or raisins) and olives and continue cooking, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes.

  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

  8. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve!
