1. Once the broth comes to a boil, add the rice and cook for 1-3 minutes or until broth has absorbed most of the broth.
2. Add the beef and lower the heat, warming the beef gently without breaking the beef up too much.
3. Cook until the broth and rice have developed a creamy texture, adding the onions and herbs at the end to warm them through. This will add deeper flavor and varied textures. If the mixture gets too dry, then add some more broth to the pot until you get the desired end consistency. No need for extra spices as the broth is fully seasoned for in line usage during service pickup.
4. Place the finished rice mixture in desired service plate.
5. Serve immediately.

Add your favorite herbs to create seasonal distinctions and connections to the moment in time. Summer months would be great to add chives and lemon zest. Or when winter is in full effect, try rosemary and orange zest for a great variation. The small changes with herbs and citrus are just the start of quick renditions to the one-pot classic recipe.
