Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula.

  2. 2

    Add the long-grain rice to the pot and stir for 1 minute to toast it lightly.

  3. 3

    Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Cook until the rice is tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, diced cucumber, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

  5. 5

    Once the rice is cooked, stir in the cherry tomatoes and remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Serve the beef and rice hot, topped with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
