Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook it according to the package instructions, which usually involves simmering it in water until tender.

While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef to the pan. Cook it, stirring occasionally, until it is evenly browned.

As the beef cooks, finely mince the garlic. Once the beef is browned, add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.

Next, pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the brown sugar over the mixture. Stir well to combine everything, letting it simmer for a few minutes so the flavors meld together.

If desired, season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring a balance of flavors.

Finally, serve the beef mixture over the cooked rice, and enjoy your delicious meal!
