Learn how to make delicious Beef Dinner Ideas Quick. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (substitute with ground turkey for a lighter option)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup beef broth
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup cooked rice (substitute with quinoa for a healthier twist)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to allow the spices to bloom and release their flavors.
Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, and corn to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Stir in the cooked rice and continue to cook until everything is heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving, if desired. Enjoy your quick and flavorful beef dinner!
