Culinary Corner: Beef and Rice Hash

The combination of rice, beef and tomatoes is wonderfully filling, yet amazingly it’s still a one-skillet dish. Win-win!

In this dish I use ground beef that has sufficient fat, more lean beef since will make it more tough, a little fat is better.

Happy Cookin,

Beef and Rice Hash

By: Raizy Fried

Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (80/20)

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp chili powder

2 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

¾ cup jasmine or long grain white rice

2 Tbsp tomato paste

2 beef tomatoes, diced

1 cup water

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Note: Since the BBQ sauce is used with meat, make sure the Worcestershire sauce does not contain fish.

Directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high flame. Add the onion, garlic, ground beef, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until the ground beef is no longer pink.

Add the rice and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid.

Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), water, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well, then cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 25 minutes, then remove from heat. Uncover the skillet, fluff the mixture with a fork, and serve.
