Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, 5-6 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in diced onion and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add tomato paste and stir to coat the beef, 1 minute. Pour in red wine and scrape up browned bits.
