Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound boneless beef sirloin steak cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup julienned green pepper
2 1/4 cups water
1 package (6 ounces) long grain and wild rice mix
1 small tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
In a small bowl, combine the first three ingredients. Sprinkle over beef cubes. In a large saucepan coated with nonstick cooking spray, cook beef in oil until no longer pink; drain. Stir in celery and green pepper; cook 2 minutes longer.
Stir in the water and rice mix with contents of seasoning packet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 23-28 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in tomato; heat through. Sprinkle with onion.
Tips and Tricks
I omitted the celery because I usually don't keep it on hand. The first time I made this, it was good, but the meat was chewy. So now I precook the meat in my slowcooker with 2 cups of beef broth to make it tender. This also skips the browning in oil.
Make It Healthier
Use a leaner cut of meat. Use less of the seasoning packet with the rice to reduce sodium.
How Kids Can Help
