EASY BEEF PICADILLO
I’m always overly ecstatic when I come across a dish that I can make entirely out of ingredients already in my kitchen. It means that I can skip a run to the grocery store (although I’ve been contemplating trying out one of those grocery delivery services that are everywhere these days), and that’s just one of the reasons why I love this beef picadillo recipe. You can use shelf-stable pantry items like canned tomato puree, a jar of olives, and dried spices. All of the fresh ingredients are easy to find, such as ground beef, bell peppers, and onions. Together, they make a fragrant, rich, and saucy beef dish with an occasional acidic flavor coming from the olives. Since it’s such a fast stovetop dinner, you can prep and cook everything in just under 30 minutes, perfect for those busy weeknights. It’s also reasonably low in carbs and I love serving it with either cauliflower rice (as pictured here) or spiralized vegetable noodles.
ou can find picadillo as a traditional dish in several continents across the world, primarily as a ground beef and tomato dish served over rice or used as a filling. It’s popular in Cuba, with a lot of spices such as oregano, cumin, and garlic. Olives are also included, and sometimes raisins and capers. In Mexico, occasionally limes, chiles, and honey are added. Picadillo is also a traditional dish in the Philippines, where it’s soupier and can include potatoes, but usually doesn’t have olives. My version of picadillo is a mix of both Cuban and Mexican influences, but most similar to the Cuban version.beef picadillo is an easy Mexican and Cuban stew with tomatoes and olives.
