Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for sautéing)
• 1 pound Ground Beef (80% lean, preferably grass‑fed)
• 1 medium Yellow Onion (diced)
• 1 Jalapeño Pepper (seeded and minced)
• 4 Garlic Cloves (minced)
• 1 inch Fresh Ginger (peeled and grated)
• 2 medium Potatoes (peeled and diced ½‑inch cubes)
• 1 cup Basmati Rice (rinsed until water runs clear)
• 2 cups Beef Stock (or water for a lighter flavor)
• ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• ½ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
• ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
• ¼ teaspoon Allspice
• 1 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)

Instructions

1. Heat Oil

   Place the skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Let it warm for about 2 minutes until it shimmers.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium heat

2. Sauté Aromatics

   Add the diced onion and minced jalapeño to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the jalapeño softens, about 3‑4 minutes.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: medium heat

3. Add Garlic & Ginger

   Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: medium heat

4. Brown the Ground Beef

   Add the ground beef, breaking it up with the spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is fully browned and any released moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium‑high heat

5. Season the Meat

   Sprinkle cayenne pepper, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, allspice, and salt (plus black pepper if using). Stir well to coat the meat evenly.

   Time: PT1M

6. Add Potatoes

   Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and stir for 2 minutes so they pick up some of the spice coating.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium heat

7. Incorporate Rice

   Stir in the rinsed basmati rice, mixing until each grain is coated with the seasoned beef mixture.

   Time: PT1M

8. Add Liquid and Bring to a Boil

   Pour in the beef stock (or water). Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: high heat

9. Simmer Covered

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with the lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the rice and potatoes are tender and the liquid is fully absorbed.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: low heat

10. Rest and Fluff

    Turn off the heat and let the skillet sit, still covered, for 5 minutes. Then remove the lid and fluff the rice and beef with a fork before serving.

    Time: PT5M
