Heartland Beef And Rice Recipes

BEEF AND RICE WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Heat oil in large pot over high heat. Add onion, capsicum and garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
• Add beef, cook until brown, breaking it up as you go.
• Add tomato paste, salt, pepper, onion powder, oregano, cumin and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
• Turn heat down to medium. Add rice and beef broth, mix well. Add frozen veggies and bay leaf, then stir.
• Place lid on, lower heat to medium low so it's simmering gently. Cook for 12 - 15 minutes (might even take longer) until all liquid is absorbed (tilt pot to check). The rice should be just cooked, but will be wet.
• Remove from heat. Quickly toss spinach on top of the rice and put the lid back on. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
• Fluff rice and mix through wilted spinach with a fork. Adjust salt if desired. Serve!
