Directions

Step 1 In a huge skillet heat the essential olive oil.

Step 2 When almost smoking, add the onion and garlic and saute over medium heat before onions become very soft about 8 minutes.

Step 3 Add the celery and carrot and saute for five minutes. Raise heat to high and add the bottom beef.

Step 4 Saute, stirring frequently and splitting up any large clumps, and cook until meat is no more pink, about ten minutes.
