Rice Pilaf With Meat Recipes

BEEF PLOV (BEEF RICE PILAF) RECIPE

Steps:

• Trim beef of excess fat and sinews (aka the chewy stuff), pat the meat dry with a paper towel and chop into 1/2" to 3/4" pieces.
• Preheat your dutch oven (or your large soup pot with a heavy bottom), to high heat. Once it's hot, stir in your 1/3 cup canola oil. Once oil is hot, add chopped meat and saute uncovered 7 min over high heat until meat is browned, stirring every minute or so so it doesn't scorch to the bottom of the pan. Note: it's important to preheat the dutch oven first for the meat to sear over very high heat, otherwise it will juice out and become dry.
• Reduce heat to medium and Add chopped onion, stirring often until onion is softened (5 minutes). Stir in sliced carrots, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, 3-4 bay leaves and continue to cook over medium heat 5 minutes until carrots are softened.
• Add 1 3/4 cups hot water, cover and simmer over medium/low heat 45 min or until meat is tender.
• Meanwhile, rinse rice until water runs clear, then drain and set aside (this gets rid of the starch so you won't end up with a sticky rice).
• Spread rice over the meat and add 4 cups hot water. Sprinkle the rice with 1 1/2 tsp salt (DO NOT STIR), bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and Let cook uncovered until most of the water is absorbed (10 min).
• Cut off the base of your whole garlic head to expose the cloves. Put your head of garlic, cut side down into the center of the rice and sprinkle the top of the rice with 1 tsp ground coriander.
• Poke 7-10 holes through the rice to allow steam to escape to the surface, reduce the heat to low then cover and cook an additional 15 minutes or until rice is cooked through. Remove the garlic head and bay leaves and stir everything gently to combine and you're done.

BEEF RICE PILAF - BEEF PLOV RECIPE (VIDEO)

Steps:

• Season the cubed beef generously with salt and pepper. Preheat large, nonstick heavy sauté pan or Dutch oven to medium/high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once oil is hot, add the beef and fry, stirring frequently, until it develops a dark brown color. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside. Next, add the onion, carrot and garlic. Sauté until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Return the beef to pan, add the spices and stir everything together with a spatula, cooking for 1 minute. Add the broth to the pan and bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is tender.
• Once meat is tender, stir in the garbanzo beans and the white raisins, if desired. Sprinkle the uncooked rice over the meat and broth. DO NOT stir the rice and meat together, simply sprinkle the rice in an even layer over the meat, and arrange it so it is submerged under the broth. The rice should be covered with about 1-cm of liquid; add more broth or water as needed.
• Cover and continue to cook over medium/low heat for 20 to 25 minutes, until the rice is done and all liquids have evaporated. Do not stir the rice while it's cooking. Stirring is avoided to create light and airy rice that is not mashed together: don't worry, it will not burn!
• Allow the rice to stand for 10 minutes once done cooking. When ready to enjoy, fold together rice and beef and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve this beef plov with pickles or pickled tomatoes for a traditional meal.
