Preparation
Step 1
Brown the onion in some olive oil in a Dutch oven. When transparent, add garlic and keep stirring. When the garlic is almost cooked, push the onions to the side of the pot and add the tomato paste in the middle. Cook for a few seconds.
Step 2
Add the ground beef, mix with the onions and brown well. When the meat is done, add the bay leaf and the wine or beef. Cook on high until the liquid has evaporated.
Step 3
Add the spices to the meat, along with a dash of Worcestershire sauce, and cook through. Add the tomatoes and the black beans and let simmer for about 30 minutes on low.
Step 4
When done, serve on top of rice and add the toppings according to your taste. You can also add hot sauce or chopped jalapenos if you like it extra spicy.
