Description
A simple recipe for savory dirty rice made with ground beef and vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the uncooked rice and beef broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving.
Notes
- For richer flavor, substitute half of the beef broth with chicken broth.
- You can use ground pork or sausage instead of ground beef.
