Pour in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, and tomato sauce. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt and pepper.
Serve the picadillo hot over a bed of fluffy white rice.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness and color.
