Picadillo Ground Beef Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ½ ground sirloin or turkey
- 1 lg. yellow onion
- 1 lg. green pepper (aji)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 can of 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon of capers
- 15 olives (manzanilla)
- 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of vino seco
- 2 big red potato
- Garlic Powder
- Adobo (sin comio y sin pimiento) (Do not add salt, since Adobo already has salt
Instructions
- In a pan, put a bit of olive oil in the pan, cook chopped onions, chopped green pepper, and garlic until cooked. (Mixing these ingredients first is called SOFRITO) Pour in tomato sauce. Add meat. Cut the potato in cubes and put in the pot (if you are pressed for time, boil the potato first in a separate pot and add later) When the meat is starting to turn brownish, add capers and olives (a little juice helps), then add Adobo (I sprinkle a few times back and forth in the pot) cook at medium approximately 20 minutes on medium/ high. Add garlic powder to taste (again I sprinkle back and forth). STIR EVERYTHING TOGETHER. Add white vinegar and vino seco, cook for another 30 minutes in a covered pot on low/medium until serving.
