Add 1 lb of ground beef to the pan and break it up as it heats.

Peel and dice 1 onion into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Smash 5 cloves of garlic and add to the pan after the onions have softened.

Add a pinch of chili flakes to the mixture.

Chop Dinosaur Kale into ribbons and add to the beef mixture.

Chop a handful of sage and mix it into the beef and kale mixture.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Add a glug of white wine to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits.

Melt a large amount of butter in a new pot to make a roux.

Sprinkle flour over the melted butter and cook until it turns blonde, stirring constantly.
