Season beef with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 2 garlic cloves , 1 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon pepper ,1 teaspoon of coriander Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until nicely browned.

    3. Add the 4 garlic and onion, continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, serranos, 2 cup bone broth , salt and oregano to the blender and blend until smooth. Pour tomato mixture into picadillo. Let it come to a boil and taste for salt. Fold in the potatoes and stir until well combined.

    Notes: if want more liquidly add more broth. Add depth to flavor also roast the tomatoes and Serrano. If don’t use fresh tomatoes also use knorr tomatoes bouillon or paste.

    Yum! It pairs nicely with frijoles de la olla!

    Add 1/4 tsp turmeric, and minced ginger equivalent to the garlic, leave out the oregano, and you’ll have ground beef curry (Kheema curry).

    It’s amazing how similar dishes pop up in very different traditions.

    I just made empanadas with my leftover beef picadillo. Such a tasty comfort food.

    YUM!! My mom used to make this for me all the time. My mom is too old now and I live far away. I’m going to get the instructions from her next time I visit. Thanks for posting. Looks so good, I can taste it. Really good with a flour tortilla.
