Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 cup frozen peas (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Break up the beef with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, if needed.

Step 4

Stir in the paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.

Step 5

Add the uncooked rice to the skillet, stirring to coat the grains in the seasonings and beef mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 8

If using frozen peas, add them to the skillet after 15 minutes, quickly stir them in, and cover again. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
