Instructions

1

Brown the Ground Beef

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes until fully browned and no pink remains. Season with salt and drain excess fat if needed.

2

Add Rice and Broth

Add the uncooked rice to the skillet with the browned beef and stir to combine. Pour in the beef broth and stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

3

Simmer Until Rice is Cooked

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet tightly with a lid, and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes until all the broth is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving.

Substitutions

Common mistakes

Not draining the excess fat from the beef which makes the rice greasy and heavy
Lifting the lid during the simmering step which releases steam and results in undercooked, uneven rice
