    Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

    Once hot, add 1 pound of beef, cut into bite-sized pieces, and cook until browned, about 5 - 7 minutes.

    Add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the pot and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, around 3 - 4 minutes.
