Cajun Beef Rice

In Summer '22 Recipes by Ashlee ODell

This dish is so satisfying and easy. I recommend Grassfed Ground Beef or lean ground beef, whichever fits your budget. Grassfed ground beef has been shown to have more anti-inflammatory fats.

This recipe is so easy! The only tricky part for some is cooking the rice. Highly recommend investing in a rice cooker if you do not have one.

Makes 3 Servings

1 tbsp. coconut oil

3 large carrots, sliced

2 peppers, sliced

4 green onions, sliced

1 lb. lean ground beef

2 tsp. Cajun seasoning

1 tbsp. tomato paste

3 cups cooked rice 

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the carrots, peppers, and white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 10 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  2. Add in the minced beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, until the meat is browned.
  3. Add the Cajun seasoning and tomato purée then stir well. Add in the cooked rice along with 4 tbsp. of water.
  4. Stir well to combine all of the ingredients and continue cooking for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle with the green parts of the spring onions and serve.
