Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Beef chuck, cubed
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 large Carrot, diced
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 cup Rice
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the cubed beef with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the beef cubes and brown all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced carrot to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes.
Return the browned beef to the skillet. Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 40 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
Meanwhile, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a separate pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 18 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
After the beef is tender, remove the bay leaf and discard. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve the beef mixture over generous portions of rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
