This is a Cuban specialty. In a heavy large skillet heat olive oil. Add beef and cook and bread up any lumps. Cook until done. Add onions and garlic, and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and continue cooking over low heat for 20 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Serve accompanied by rice and/or black beans. Also a great filling for tamales, tacos, or green peppers. Serves 6.
