Cooking steps
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until onions are translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles.
Once the ground beef is fully cooked, drain any excess fat.
Add salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, dried basil, and dried rosemary to the skillet. Stir well to coat the meat with the seasonings.
Add white rice, frozen peas, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is cooked and tender, and peas are heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Serve the beef and rice dish hot with a side of green salad or steamed vegetables.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
