Add the garlic and sautee another 2 min.

Stir in the bell pepper, cumin, sand salt and pepper. Sautee 2-3 min.

Add the browned beef, vinegar and tomato sauce, and stir well.

Increase heat to medium-high, and bring the beef picadillo to a boil.

Beef picadillo is great served with cauliflower or konjac rice, and a side of fresh salad. It is also great in a low carb wrap for a quick lunch!
