Method

Cooking the Ground Beef

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef

    Add the seasoned ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, drain any excess fat if necessary. Serve the ground beef warm, either on its own or with your choice of side dishes.

Preparing Optional Sides

  1. 5

    Mashed Potatoes

    Peel and chop potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste.

  2. 6

    Steamed Broccoli

    Trim broccoli into florets and steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender yet crisp. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 7

    Rice

    Rinse 1.5 cups of rice under cold water. In a pot, combine with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until water is absorbed.
