Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (preferably 80/20 for balance of flavor and juiciness)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups cooked rice or pasta (optional, for serving)
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken if you’re looking for a leaner option, and use fresh herbs if available for an extra burst of flavor.
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the chopped onion to the beef and sauté for another 3-4 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, and tomato paste. Stir to combine all ingredients. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, oregano, and smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes, just until they are heated through.
- Serve the ground beef mixture over cooked rice or pasta, if desired, for a complete meal.
