This Beef and Peas Rice Bowl is a must-try tonight for a satisfying and hearty meal that's quick and easy to prepare, perfect for any weeknight dinner!

1

Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and keeps the rice from being sticky. Set aside.

2

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté for about 3 minutes until they're translucent and fragrant.

3

Add the beef to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned on all sides.

4

Stir in the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef in the sauce.

5

Add the rice to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in 4 cups of water, bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.

6

Stir in the peas and cover the pot again. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the peas through.

7

After cooking, fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
