I would recommend Introduction to Lie Algebras and Representation Theory by Humphreys. It covers all the basics of Lie algebras and their representations, though mostly in characteristic 0 and over an algebraically closed field. But then, going into any depth with the theory without these assumptions requires a lot of additional work anyway, and knowing the theory for this nice case is a good start.
