Picadillo - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb lean ground beef
    2 onions, chopped
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    2 small sweet green peppers, chopped
    1 (5 1/2 ounce) can tomato paste
    1 cup water
    1/2 cup raisins
    1/4 cup green olives, pitted and chopped
    2 tablespoons capers, drained
    1 -2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or to taste)
    1 -2 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or to taste)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
Preparation
    Using a large nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium heat, breaking up with spoon, until browned and drain off any fat.
    Add onions and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until nearly tender.
    Add garlic and peppers, and cook, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes or until onions are softened.
    Mix tomato paste with water and stir into beef mixture along with raisins, olives, capers and Worcestershire sauce (original recipe called for 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce but I found that to be too much).
    Simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors then stir in vinegar (I would add the same amount of vinegar as Worcestershire sauce), salt and pepper.
