Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 1/2 cups beef broth
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the onion and mince the garlic so they are ready to add to the pan alongside the ground beef.
  2. Brown the Meat: Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it starts to brown, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  3. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the browned beef. Continue sautéing until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Rice and Broth: Stir the rice into the meat mixture to coat it well, then pour in the beef broth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer gently for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the broth. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve: Once the rice is fully cooked and the liquid absorbed, fluff the mixture with a fork and serve hot as a comforting, complete meal.

Notes

  • Use long-grain white rice for fluffy results; jasmine or basmati work well.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or oregano during simmering.
  • Substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a lighter taste.
  • Ensure the pan is covered tightly during simmering to cook the rice evenly.
  • This dish can be easily doubled for larger families or meal prep.
