Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups beef broth
• 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease, if needed.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat it in the beef mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy!
