Method
Step 1: Cook the yellow rice
Add the rice, water, bouillon powder, oregano, turmeric, and crushed garlic clove to a rice cooker or saucepan. Stir to combine. Cook using your preferred method:
with the rice cooker or on the stovetop covered until the rice is cooked through and the water is absorbed.
Fluff with a fork before serving.
Step 2: Brown the beef
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the ground beef, salt, Aleppo pepper, and granulated garlic.
As it , break it into small crumbles until it is well and cooked through.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 3: Mix the dill sauce
Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, water, dried dill, and a splash of vinegar, stirring until smooth.
Taste and adjust with more vinegar for extra tang, or a bit more water to thin it out.
Step 4: Assemble the bowls
Prep the toppings: chop the cilantro and have the pickled onions ready.
Divide the yellow rice among bowls or meal prep containers. Top with the seasoned beef, pickled onions, and cilantro. Finish with a generous spoonful of the dill sauce.
“This type of ground beef & rice bowl is a go-to weekday meal for me, and this recipe makes some leftovers plus extra sauce I can take into other meals during the week.”
