Use long grain rice, about 1 cup.

For every cup of rice, use double the amount of liquid, so 2 cups total.

Use half beef stock and half water for flavor.

Put the liquid in a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add a small amount of salt to the boiling liquid.

Drizzle about a teaspoon of olive oil into the pot.

Add the rice to the boiling liquid using a fork to avoid mushing the rice.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot to simmer.

Cook for about 12 minutes, checking the packaging for specific cooking times.

Do not peek or stir the rice while it cooks.

Once done, fluff the rice with a fork.
