Introduction
A comforting Cuban-style Picadillo made with seasoned ground beef, sautéed onions, bell peppers, olives, and savory spices simmered in a rich tomato sauce. It is quick to prepare in a single pan and served perfectly over a warm bed of white rice.
Step 1
Heat a pan over medium heat and squeeze in a little bit of cooking oil.
Step 2
Sauté the chopped onion and chopped green bell pepper for a few minutes until they shrink slightly and develop a bit of color.
Step 3
Add the ground beef to the pan. Sauté and break the meat down using a spatula until it is completely browned.
Step 4
Season the browned beef with sazón, oregano, cumin, paprika, one bay leaf, and the minced garlic. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Add the sliced green olives to the pan. (You may optionally add raisins here if you prefer a traditional sweet-and-savory profile).
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Traditional Cuban Picadillo often includes raisins for a sweet contrast, but they can be omitted if you prefer a purely savory dish.
Unlike Mexican Picadillo, the Cuban version typically does not include potatoes, although some variations exist.
Rinsing out the tomato sauce can with veggie stock is a great way to avoid food waste while adding extra moisture and flavor to the pan.
