Next, add the garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Stir-fry just until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
When ready, add the ground beef, the other ½ tsp kosher salt, and stir-fry until the meat gets crispy and brown. Then, add the frozen peas, olives, and tomato sauce. Mix to combine. Then, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 10 minutes on low heat.
Finally, open the lid, give a quick stir, add the maple syrup, squeeze lime juice all over the seasoned meat, sprinkle in the chopped cilantro, and enjoy immediately.
