Instructions

In a large skillet or wide pot (use one that has a tight-fitting lid), cook and stir the beef, onion, and peppers over medium heat until the beef is browned.

Stir in the broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic powder and sea salt. Bring to a boil. Stir in the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 1 hour, or until the rice is tender. Sprinkle generously with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley just before serving.
