Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Stir in the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and uncooked rice to the pan. Stir frequently for 1-2 minutes to toast the rice lightly.
Pour in the beef broth and mix in the dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, uncovered, until the peas are heated through.
Remove the pan from heat. Fluff the pilaf with a fork and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
