Prep and Cook
  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and cook the onions, garlic, carrots and celery until they are softened and the edges are slightly browned. Add the meat, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and rosemary. Saute for 8 to10 minutes until the meat is browned.
