3. Add appropriate amount of olive oil and butter to the pan, add minced garlic after the oil is hot, then add diced onion and fry until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

5. Pour in the marinated minced meat and stir-fry it with a spatula until the minced meat changes color and slightly browned.

8. Add beef broth or chicken broth to the pot, add bay leaves, thyme and basil leaves, and stir well.
