Preparation
Cook the rice
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 3 cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Cook the beef
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops.
- In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.

- Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through.
- Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Mise en place
