Instructions

In a 12″ skillet, brown and drain beef, and remove with a slotted spoon. Simmer remaining liquid until about 1 tbsp fat remains. Add butter, onion and green pepper, and sauté until tender. Add garlic and sauté until aromatic and tender, but not browned. Add tomato paste and combine well.

  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
  • 1 can tomato sauce, 15 oz
  • 1 can tomato paste, 6 oz
  • 1½ cups beef broth

Instructions

Add 2 tsp olive oil to a 5 quart pot and heat until shimmering. Add uncooked rice and coat with oil, toasting rice until fragrant and beginning to brown. Add onions and saute until sweating, but not yet translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and continue to saute until fragrant, one more minute.
