Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease, if needed.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat it in the beef mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
