Good to know
Keep the lid snug while the rice simmers; if the pan dries out before the rice is tender, add a small splash of water and continue cooking.
Leftovers
Cool leftovers promptly in shallow containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days; reheat until steaming hot.
Make ahead
Chop the onion and peppers a day ahead and refrigerate them in a covered container.
Swap it
Use ground turkey in place of beef, cooking it to 165°F; ground beef should reach 160°F.
