Ground Beef and Rice

A quick, easy and healthy lunch or dinner recipie

Ingredients

Ground Beef

1LB

Onion

1/2

Garlic

1 Clove

Rice

1 Cup

Salt

~1tsp or to taste

Ground Pepper

~1 tsp

Garlic powder

1 tsp

Cumin

1 tbsp

Optional. I love Cumin so I use quite a bit of it but you can either skip or use ~1 tsp

Oil or Fat

~1 cup

I personally use olive oil here but you can use vegetable oil, ghee, butter or another oil/fat.

1. Mince Garlic

Mince an entire clove of garlic, place 1/3 into the a rice cooker or pot and saute for ~5 minutes. Reserve the rest for the beef.

2. Cook Rice

Once the garlic is sauted, add rice and water to the rice cooker or pot and season with salt and pepper.

3. Saute Onions

Dice onions and then add then saute on low with olive oil for ~10 minutes

4. Saute Garlic

Add the other 2/3 of the garlic clove into the saute pan with onions and continue to saute for another ~5 minutes

If the onions or garlic is started to get to dark and you are not ready to add the beef, take it off heat until you are ready

5. Season Beef

Taking the raw ground beef, season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin

6. Brown Beef

Add beef to the garlic and onions and cook until brown

If you are using a leaner ground beef (ie. 90/10), you may want to add some olive oil to add liquid
If you are using a fattier ground beef (ie. 80/20), you will want to tilt the pan towards the end and extract all excess fat with a spoon.

Serve with salad or another vegetable
If you plan to refrigerate the rice, when re-heating add an ice cube to the top. This will prevent the rice from drying out.
