Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup frozen peas (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Break up the beef with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, if needed.
Stir in the paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.
Add the uncooked rice to the skillet, stirring to coat the grains in the seasonings and beef mixture.
Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything together until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let simmer for 15 minutes.
If using frozen peas, add them to the skillet after 15 minutes, quickly stir them in, and cover again. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
