Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 cup White rice
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to release the flavors.

Step 4

Add the white rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the beef and seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Fluff the rice mixture with a fork and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
