Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a large pot with a lid over medium‑low heat and sauté the onion, celery and peppers for 8‑10 minutes until they become soft. Add the ground beef and cook for 5‑6 minutes until browned, then add the garlic, sauté for a minute and add the Cajun seasoning. Cook for another minute, then increase the heat to medium.

2. 2

   Add the rice, pour in the broth and simmer covered for 15‑18 minutes until the rice is done; check after 10 minutes to test the rice's doneness. If the rice needs more liquid, add water or more broth gradually as needed. Sprinkle with finely chopped green onion before serving.
