Add the salt, chile flakes, rosemary and oregano, and saute for one more minute. Next, add the ground beef and cook until just lightly browned, about 4 minutes or so. Add the tomatoes and water and bring to a low boil. Simmer uncovered for 5-6 minutes to allow the flavors to incorporate, then check for seasonings and adjust according to taste.
