This mexican beef recipe is an all time favorite. If you use ground sirloin instead of ground beef your meat will stay chunkier. Ground beef will break down into smaller pieces. It just depends on how you like it. You can use either one.
Once you have made this mexican beef recipe, you can use it in a number of my other mexican recipes like beef enchiladas, burritos, chili beans, tacos, quesadillas, tostadas and tamale pie.
So let's get started.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground sirloin or ground beef
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 or 4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
3 tablespoons oregano leaves
1 cup tomatoe sauce
1 1/2 tsp. salt
How To Do It
Take a large frying pan, nonstick preferred.
Heat the oil over medium low heat. Add the onion and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add:
1 1/2 lbs. ground sirloin or ground beef
1 1/2 tsp. salt
Cook the beef over medium heat until almost done. Add 3 or 4 cloves of minced garlic depending on your tolerance and desire for its taste. 3 cloves will be subtle in flavor. Cook an additional 3 minutes.
Add:
2 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 cup tomatoe sauce
In a blender add:
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup oregano leaves
Blend for 10 seconds and pour onto the meat.
Cook for 10 minutes and lower heat to simmer for 10 minutes.
And there you have it. That was pretty easy don't you think?
