1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes.
3. Season the beef with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, stirring to combine.
4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, allowing the mixture to come to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, reducing slightly to create a rich sauce.
5. Meanwhile, prepare your rice according to package instructions or use leftover rice to save time. I often use jasmine or basmati rice for a fragrant touch.
6. To serve, spoon the beef mixture over the rice in a bowl, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

One thing I love about this recipe is its versatility. I often find myself adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat or a handful of spinach to sneak in some greens.
