Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 stalk celery stalk, diced
- 1 cup white or brown rice
- 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped red bell pepper, diced carrot, and celery, cooking for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add in the rice, stirring to combine with the beef and vegetables.
Pour in the broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, black pepper, salt, thyme, and oregano. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and stir. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy your savory, dairy-free ground beef and rice!
