Rice and Broth
- 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
- 2 cups beef broth
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
Garnish

Instructions
- Heat olive oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare the pan for sautéing the vegetables and beef.
- Sauté onions and peppers: Add diced onion and sliced bell peppers to the skillet and cook until they soften, which enhances their natural sweetness and texture.
- Add garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds to release its aromatic flavor without burning.
- Brown ground beef: Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart until fully browned and no pink remains, ensuring it is cooked through.
- Combine rice and liquids: Stir in the uncooked jasmine rice, beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, paprika, and salt; mix well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Simmer the mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed the flavors.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooked, fluff the rice mixture, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot for a complete and delicious meal.
Notes
- You can use any color bell peppers according to your preference for added color and sweetness.
- Adjust the amount of black pepper and paprika based on your spice preference.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with a gluten-free tamari.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated in a skillet or microwave.
- Adding a splash of fresh lime juice or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro before serving can add a fresh brightness to the dish.
