Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes. Tilt the pot and spoon off any excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind.

Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5–6 minutes.
