5 Spice Beef & Rice
"This recipe came from my husband's grandmother, and we modified it a little bit to make it gluten and dairy free. As a kid this was my husband's favorite meal, and he used to walk around singing a little song about it "5 Spice Beef and Rice, Cha Cha Cha!" The five spices are pepper, bay leaf, garlic, thyme and oregano. It's very easy to make, and a good dinner staple."

Excellent weeknight get-it-on-the-table-quick, oh-my-gosh-that's-good dinner (and complete in much less than the stated time - you should adjust that so you can list this as a one-dish, under 30 minute recipe). I stirred in the thyme/oregano/garlic-powder in for a few seconds before the wet ingredients - a quick burst of dry heat brings out the flavor in dry spices. Thanks for a great easy recipe, AllergyGirl (and Geshundheit)!
