Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 3 onions, sliced
• 1 (1-inch) piece ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 pound 2 ounces ground beef
• Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1. In a food processor, pulse 2 cloves garlic, 1 sliced onion, ginger root, and lime juice until smooth. Gently mix with ground beef and season with black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. While beef is chilling, pour vegetable oil into a large, deep skillet and place over medium heat. Cook remaining onions, red bell peppers, and remaining garlic in hot oil for about 10 minutes, then stir in tomatoes, cumin, and water. Simmer covered on low heat for 10 minutes.
