I don’t have any clue what beef-mince is so I just used 1 lb. of very lean ground beef, and cooked that with the onion and garlic. It ended up being an easy, quick, and yummy dinner.

Do you need any oil when cooking this dish? If so, how much?

If you prefer a little oil for the veggies, that’s fine, but you shouldn’t need any for the meat.

What does it mean “roll your mince and just add them to the pan as you’re going along”? Is it like patties? Or meatballs?

It can be either, but I went with meatball style.

Go for the meatball style it is the best way. Also minced beef is just another term for hamburger meat or ground beef.

I wonder if I could throw like a sirloin in my ninja food processor to use this meat. When shopping I couldn’t figure out what this was asking for.

Sorry about the confusion. I changed the recipe to reflect more American dialect. It’s just ground beef that’s rolled into little meatball-like balls. Enjoy!

I added tomato sauce and hot sauce… Very good

I mixed the oregano and garlic into the meat before cooking then added it all to the pan at once and cooked it “picadillo” style, breaking up the meat instead.
My 1st attempt at Paleo Picadillo was a success!
