Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes.
