A simple yet flavorful way to serve rice and beef.
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 lbs. chuck stew beef
- 1/4 cup oil or 6 slices of bacon
- 1 onion
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 3 medium carrots
- 4 cups water
- 3 cups jasmine rice
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. coriander
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Instructions
- Boil meat in 4 cups of water for 45 minutes to 1 hour, lightly covered. Drain and reserve juices. Set aside.
- Dice onion and bell pepper. Julienne carrots. Set aside.
- If using bacon, cut into 1/2” pieces. Fry in a pot over medium (5) heat until crispy, then remove. Add enough oil to pot to create 1/4 cup.
- Add beef, onion, carrot, and bell pepper to oil and sauté until soft.
- Add remaining ingredients to pot except water. Fry for a few minutes to allow flavors to combine.
- Add 4 cups of reserved liquid from cooking meat and adjust seasonings, as needed.
- Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to medium-low (2-3). Allow to simmer until rice is fully cooked and water is absorbed, 25-30 minutes. Stir every 6-10 minutes to avoid burning the bottom.
Notes
To make in the oven: Complete steps 1-6. Pour contents of pot into a 9”x13” baking dish. Bake covered with tin foil at 375°F for 50 minutes.
