1
Add the olive oil and garlic to a pot and cook on low heat.
2
Once the garlic becomes aromatic add the minced onion and carrot and cook.
3
Once the onions become transparent add the ground meat and cooking sake.
4
Once the meat changes color sprinkle in the flour evenly, mixing quickly to avoid clumping.

Add the ketchup and Worcestershire-style sauce while checking the taste.
7
(I add about 10 squirts of ketchup and 5 of the Worcestershire-style sauce.)

Once you've got the flavor you want adjust with black pepper, salt, and sugar, and simmer for 10 minutes.
9
Remove the bay leaf.
10
