Ingredients
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are somewhat softened.
Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Cook until the paste turns dark reddish brown, approximately 2 minutes, enhancing the depth of flavor.
Pour in red wine or red wine vinegar to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom to enrich the sauce.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce and ketchup. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken and flavors to meld.
Remove from heat, adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot on your favorite bread or buns, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
