For your ingredients, you will be needing the following:

1. Using a large skillet, combine your beef and pork and brown it over medium heat. Cook it over medium heat. Once the meat is no longer pink, set it aside.
2. Using another large skillet, heat your olive oil over medium heat before sauteing the onions and garlic. Wait until it has become tender. Add 1/2 cup of wine and stir it well.
3. You can add the mushroom and the herbs (Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano) and another 1/2 cup of wine. Saute until the ingredients have become tender.
