Steps

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion. Cook, breaking up the beef, until browned and onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

  3. 3

    Stir in minced garlic, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add green beans, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until green beans are tender-crisp.

  6. 6

    Stir occasionally. If sauce is too thin, remove lid and increase heat for the last couple of minutes to reduce.

  7. 7

    Serve hot as is, or with a side of rice or mashed potatoes.
