Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 250 grams brown rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 large, diced red bell pepper
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 240 ml beef broth
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 stalks, chopped green onions
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the brown rice under cold water and set it aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring 500ml of water to a boil. Add the rinsed brown rice and a pinch of salt to the boiling water. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Step 3
While the rice is cooking, heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 5
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Step 6
Add the diced red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet, and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Step 7
Stir in soy sauce, beef broth, black pepper, salt, and ground cumin to the skillet. Mix well, then reduce the heat to simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 8
When the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and transfer it to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 9
Garnish the dish with chopped parsley and green onions before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your high protein savory ground beef and rice!
