   1. Heat half of the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring constantly, until browned on all sides. (This may need to be done in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.) While the meat is browning, heat remaining oil in a large saucepan. Stir in onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in green pepper, jalapeno and garlic; cook 1 additional minute. Any browned meat can be added at this time.
