Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Cuban Picadillo.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients in one place; this makes the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable.
Step 2
In a skillet, warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic.
Step 4
Sauté these colorful veggies until they soften and become fragrant, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 5
Next, add the ground beef to the skillet.
Step 6
Cook and stir it until it’s nicely browned and crumbly, which will take around 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 7
Now it’s time to bring in the flavor! Stir in the tomato sauce, quartered olives, raisins, capers (if you’re using them), ground cumin, sazon seasoning, a touch of white sugar, and a sprinkle of salt.
Step 8
Mix everything together until well combined, letting those flavors mingle.
Step 9
Cover the skillet, lower the heat, and let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 to 10 minutes, allowing it to heat through and the flavors to deepen.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you prepare this delicious dish!.
