Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup rice (long-grain or basmati)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, around 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the rice, beef broth, dried oregano, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add the cherry tomatoes and cover the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Once cooked, remove from heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and garnish with fresh parsley and feta cheese if desired.

  6. 6

    Serve warm and enjoy your quick Greek dinner!
