Description
A delicious and easy ground beef and rice skillet meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0 tsp black pepper
- 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, soy sauce, onion powder, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with the lid, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the unsalted butter until it’s melted and fully incorporated.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- This dish can be served as a complete meal.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
