Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)
- 2 cups beef broth (or water)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of beef broth (or water) to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes (or according to package instructions) until the rice is cooked and fluffy.
- While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it apart, cooking until it’s browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat, then stir in the soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- When the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork and then add it to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
