Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup onions and 1 tbsp minced garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes until the onions are softened and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 2: Add 1 lb beef cubes and cook for 5 minutes, breaking apart into smaller pieces — the beef should develop a golden crust without overcooking.
Step 3: Stir in 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until the beef is coated and the flavors are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Add 1.5 cups rice and 2 cups chicken broth. Stir to combine, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed — the top should be slightly crispy.
Step 5: Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the dish and let sit for 2 minutes to melt. Serve warm.
