Main Course Preparation

1. Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add Vegetables

Chop 1 medium onion, 1 medium bell pepper, and 3 cloves of garlic. Add these to the skillet with the beef and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until softened.

3. Add Tomatoes and Spices

Stir in 1 can of diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Side Dish Preparation

4. Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of rice and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir well, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

5. Finish with Parsley

Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in 0.25 cup of chopped parsley for added freshness.

Salad Preparation

6. Prepare the Salad

In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of mixed greens, 1 chopped medium cucumber, and 1 pint of halved cherry tomatoes.

7. Dress the Salad

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Drizzle over the salad and toss to combine.
