1 cup Coffee

1 Glass of full-bodied red wine

In a large heavy bottom pot (Le Creuset), heat olive oil and saute onions till translucent

Meanwhile, with a knife, cut both packages of ground beef (kind of like a checkerboard). This will reduce clumping of the beef.

Add ground sirloin, cooking till brown, stirring frequently to ensure the beef is broken up completely.
