  1. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the ground beef and break it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook 6-8 minutes, until golden brown.
  3. Add the peppers and onion and stir. Cook 6-8 minutes, until soft with lightly golden edges.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until it darkens.
