Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.

Step 3

Stir in the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and uncooked rice to the pan. Stir frequently for 1-2 minutes to toast the rice lightly.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and mix in the dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, uncovered, until the peas are heated through.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat. Fluff the pilaf with a fork and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
