  3. Pour in the rinsed rice and beef broth, ensuring the rice is evenly distributed. Bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let it cook quietly for 18-20 minutes.
  5. After cooking, remove from heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Then, uncover and fluff the rice gently with a fork.
