    To prepare the minced meat, heat oil in a frying pan, then add the onion and sauté without changing its color. Add the meat and stir until it changes color; do not add salt until it is cooked to prevent the meat from drying out and clumping. Add black pepper and spices and stir. When the meat is cooked, add salt and remove from heat.

    To prepare the béchamel, in a dry bowl, melt the butter over medium heat to prevent burning. Add the flour and stir until the flour absorbs the butter and is lightly toasted, so the taste of the flour does not dominate the béchamel without changing its color.
