Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by chopping the onion, garlic, and bell pepper into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent. Add the ground beef, cooking until it is browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables and Spices

    Stir in the bell pepper, tomato sauce, salt, black pepper, paprika, and bay leaf. Cook for about 5 minutes until the bell pepper softens.

  4. 4

    Combine Rice and Broth

    Add the rice to the skillet, stirring to combine with the beef mixture. Pour in the beef broth, bringing the mixture to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped parsley. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
