Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 medium-sized onions about 2 lbs., halved and sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
- 32 oz. beef stock warmed and simmering in a saucepan
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2/3 lb. shredded provolone cheese
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- First up, brown some juicy ground beef in a large Dutch oven and season it with salt and pepper. Once it’s cooked through, set it aside and add a luscious mixture of butter and olive oil to the same Dutch oven.
- Next, add thinly sliced onions and let them caramelize to perfection. This takes some time, but it’s well worth it for the deep, rich flavor it adds.
- Once the onions are done, remove them from the pan and set them aside. Then, add Arborio rice to the Dutch oven and let it toast for a few minutes until it’s golden brown.
- Now it’s time to add some beef stock, one cup at a time, stirring constantly so the rice can absorb all the liquid. Keep going until you’ve used up all 32 oz. of stock and the rice is perfectly tender.
- Add back the cooked ground beef and caramelized onions, and stir everything together until it’s well mixed. Then add a little milk and some luscious provolone cheese, along with some fragrant thyme.
- Give it all a good stir, then serve it up warm and get ready for a taste explosion in your mouth! This risotto is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a fancy dinner party or just looking for a hearty meal to enjoy with your family.
