1

Heat 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and season with salt, allspice, cinnamon, and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the beef is browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes.
2

Stir the chicken broth and rice into the beef in the saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
3

Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the pine nuts in the hot butter until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
4

Mix the pine nuts into the beef-rice mixture before serving.
