Steps:
- Pour rice into a bowl, and fill it with cold water. Swirl the grains, using your fingers. Tip out any starchy water, and repeat until water runs almost clear.
- Combine rice and water in a pot: For most long-grain and medium-grain rice, pair 1 cup rice and 1 1/3 cups water. For short-grain rice, use 1 cup rice and 1 cup water. For most brown rice, combine 1 cup rice and 1 3/4 cups water. The rice and water should not come more than halfway up the sides of your pot; the mixture will double in volume as it cooks.
- Bring water to a hard boil over medium-high heat. The water's entire surface should break with big, constant bubbles. As soon as water is boiling, give it a vigorous stir with a spatula or wooden spoon, making sure to scrape at any grains at the bottom of the pot. Cover it with a lid and turn the heat to low.
- Cook long-grain and medium-grain rice for 15 minutes; short-grain varieties for 20 minutes; and brown rice for 30 minutes.
- When allotted time has passed, or when you hear a change in sound - if you listen closely, you'll notice the sounds will slowly change from a bubbly simmer to a steamy sort of flutter - turn off heat and let rice rest for about 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Use the right rice: Long-grain rice, like basmati or jasmine rice, is best for this recipe. It cooks up fluffy and separate, and it has a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with the savory beef and vegetables.
- Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking helps to remove the starch, which can make the rice gummy. Be sure to rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
- Don't stir the rice too much: Once the rice is cooking, don't stir it too much. Stirring can break up the grains of rice and make them mushy.
- Let the rice rest: After the rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the rice to absorb all of the flavors from the beef and vegetables.

Stove-top rice with Oriental ground beef is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family.
