Picadillo, Cuban Ground Beef image

I lived in Miami for 18 years and fell in love with Cuban food. Picadillo is a traditional Cuban dish and every household does it a little differently. This is how I was taught to make it. Serve it with white rice, sweet plantains, and an avocado salad and you'll think you are in Little Havana!

Categories     Beef

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 c olive oil
2 clove garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
2 lb lean ground beef
15 oz can diced tomatoes with the juice (or 2 large very ripe tomatoes if you have them!)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp tomato paste
3/4 c pimento stuffed green olives, sliced
2 Tbsp capers

Steps:

  • 1. Saute onion, peppers and garlic in oil until tender
  • 2. Add the ground beef and brown, breaking the meat up. Drain the fat if you like but it's not traditional to do so.
  • 3. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, salt and pepper, and vinegar. Simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.
  • 4. Add the olives and capers and warm through.
  • 5. Serve over white rice
  • 6. Note - Many recipes call for a cup of raisins.
