In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned throughout with no pink remaining and an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), about 7–8 minutes. Tilt the pot and spoon off any excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind.
