Picadillo

Directions

1. Season the beef with all the ingredients by mixing them well in a bowl.

2. If possible, do this in advance, 1 to 10 hours prior to actually making the dish.

3. Cook in a very large pot or skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally and adding bits of water if needed to keep the beef from drying.

4. Continue to cook, covered, until the beef is thoroughly cooked and the sauce has thickened.

5. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Variation:
While the Picadillo is cooking, fry 3 small or 2 medium, peeled and diced potatoes in a separate skillet in a small amount of light oil until they are slightly browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Add to Picadillo just prior to placing the dish on the table. This touch makes Picadillo a truly traditional favorite.
