Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron pan on medium-high heat.

Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until the onions become translucent.

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up and stir it into the vegetables. Sauté for about 7 minutes until the meat is browned.

Stir in the tomato sauce, sliced green olives, bay leaves, dried oregano, ground cumin, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Mix all the ingredients well until they're combined.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet and let the mix simmer for 15 minutes allowing all the flavors to meld together.

Remove the bay leaves, give it a stir, and let it cool off for a few minutes before serving. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
