Instructions
- 1
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and season with 1/4 tsp of the salt. Cook, breaking the meat into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains and the beef registers 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the pan.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
