Ingredients

  • 1 lb 90/10 lean ground beef
  • 2 cups long -grain white rice, rinsed
  • 3 cups beef bone broth
  • 6 cloves garlic , minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions

Instructions

  • Combine rinsed rice and beef bone broth in a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fully rendered, breaking the meat into small granules.
  • Drain approximately 75% of the rendered fat from the pan, leaving enough to coat the bottom.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the beef and sauté for 60 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  • Add the unsalted butter and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir continuously until the butter is completely melted and emulsified with the beef juices.
  • Incorporate the cooked rice into the skillet. Use a folding motion to ensure the rice grains are evenly coated in the garlic butter sauce.
  • Garnish with chopped scallions and serve immediately.
