Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and bell pepper until softened, 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and oregano and cook 2 minutes.
- 2
Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until completely browned and any liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes. The meat should sizzle and begin to fry slightly in its own fat.
- 3
Add wine and cook until reduced by half. Add tomato sauce, bay leaf, olives, capers, and raisins. Stir to combine and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat. Season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf.

Serve over white rice with black beans alongside. The combination of salty olives, sweet raisins, and tangy capers is the signature Cuban flavor profile.
