Ingredients for Beef Over Rice

  • Ground Beef
  • Onion
  • Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 1/2 cups water (adjust according to your rice cooker's instructions)

How to Make Beef Over Rice

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Add the rice and water to your rice cooker and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
  3. While the rice is cooking, heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour the soy sauce over the beef and cook for another minute, until the sauce is slightly thickened and the beef is cooked through.
  6. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork.
  7. Serve the beef over a generous portion of rice. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
