instructions
    1

    Start by boiling 2 cups of water in a pot. Once boiling, add 1 cup of rice and a pinch of salt. Cover and let simmer for about 18-20 minutes until cooked.

    2

    While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    3

    Chop 1 onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

    4

    Add 1 pound of chopped beef to the skillet and cook until browned, around 7-10 minutes.

    5

    In a separate bowl, crack 3 eggs and beat them well. Season with salt and pepper.

    6

    Once the beef is cooked, add the cooked rice to the skillet, mixing well. Pour the beaten eggs over the mixture, stirring gently to combine.

    7

    Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and the mixture is heated through.

    Serve hot, garnished with additional pepper if desired. Enjoy your homemade Riso con Carne e Uova!
