Ground beef, onion and garlic base for three dinners

Peel the onion and cut it into small pieces with top vertical cuts and crosswise cuts, skipping the horizontal cut.

Add a little oil and the ground beef, spread it out to flatten slightly, and let it get some colour and a crust before mixing much.

Mix, then add most of the onions, holding some back.

Cook just until the pink has gone; make a spot, add garlic, and once it smells nice mix it in with salt and pepper.

When the onions have softened and the pink is gone, kill the heat and pull it off.
