Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.25 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Step 9
Serve hot as a filling for tacos, over rice or pasta, or use as a topping for baked potatoes. Enjoy!
