Instructions
Chop the onion and garlic and set aside. Prepare the spices in a prep dish and set aside.
In a medium-large saute pan, heat oil on medium-high heat.
Season the meat generously on both sides with salt & pepper. When the pan is hot, sear the beef. When beef is browned on both sides (about 3 minutes per side), remove from pan and set aside.
Turn the heat to medium-low and Add 1 T. oil to the same pan and saute the onion until light brown.
Add the garlic and cook 2-3 minutes more, be careful not to burn
Add the spices to the pan. Add the meat back to the pan and using a fish spatula or a flat spatula break apart the meat while incorporating the other ingredients as well. When the beef is broken apart into smaller dime-sized bits then let it continue to cook until the meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes or so.
When the beef is cooked give it a taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
Plate it up and enjoy with your preferred toppings.
