Equipment
- Medium Saucepan with Lid
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Wooden Spoon
- Fine Mesh Strainer
Ingredients
- Long Grain White Rice 1 Cup
- Beef Broth 2 Cups
- Unsalted Butter 2 Tbsp
- Onion Powder 1/2 Tsp
- Garlic Powder 1/2 Tsp
- Paprika 1/4 Tsp
- Cayenne Pepper 1/8 Tsp
- Dried Parsley 1 Tsp
Instructions
- Rinse your white rice in a fine strainer first. Run cold water over it until the water is clear. This stops the rice from being sticky later.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat on the stove. Add the butter and let it melt slowly. Do not let the butter turn brown or burn.
- Add the dry rice to the melted butter now. Stir the rice for two minutes to toast it. This step adds a nutty flavor to the dish.
- Pour in the beef broth and all the spices. Stir everything once to combine the flavors well. Turn the heat up to bring it to boil.
- Turn the heat down to the lowest setting immediately. Place the lid on the pot very tightly. Let it simmer for fifteen to eighteen minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat when water is gone. Keep the lid on for five more minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
Notes
- Always rinse the rice to remove the extra white starch.
- Use a tight lid to keep all the steam inside.
- Do not peek at the rice while it is simmering.
- Fluff the rice with a fork instead of a spoon.
- Use low sodium broth if you want less salt overall.
