Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by cooking the rice. Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of beef broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Finely chop 1 medium onion, mince 3 garlic cloves, and dice 1 medium red bell pepper. Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley for garnish and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and continue to cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add 1 pound of ground beef to the other side. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir the vegetables and ground beef together in the skillet. Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 0.5 teaspoon of cumin. Mix well to combine all the ingredients and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper if necessary.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and serve topped with the savory ground beef mixture. Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy your delicious soy-free savory ground beef with rice!
