How To Make cuban picadillo
-
Step 1In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef; generously season with freshly ground mixed peppercorns. Sauté until no longer pink, breaking the meat into small pieces.
-
Step 2Using a slotted spoon, scoop up the meat into a bowl and set aside.
-
Step 3Discard fat but keep 1 Tbsp. Add onions and lightly season with ground sea salt. Sauté for 2 minutes.
-
Step 4Add red and orange peppers; sauté for 2 minutes. If there’s no fat left in the skillet, add a little bit of olive oil to prevent the veggies from sticking to the bottom.
-
Step 5Add garlic and quickly sauté for 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and stir to coat; cook for 2 minutes.
-
Step 6Return the ground beef with any accumulated juices. Pour in red wine and beef broth. Add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, olives and olive brine, capers, raisins, and potatoes; stir well.
-
Step 7Season the mixture with ground cumin, oregano leaves, hot paprika, and bay leaf; mix until blended.
-
Step 8Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce back to medium heat, and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
-
Step 9When they’re done, discard the bay leaf; taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
-
Step 10Cook, uncovered, for another 2 minutes to help thicken the mixture.
-
Step 11Serve with rice and sprinkle on fresh chopped parsley.
