SPANISH RICE WITH GROUND BEEF
Growing up, my mom made a version of Spanish rice with ground beef that was hearty enough that it stood on its own as a main dish. During a visit a few years ago, after missing her cooking desperately, I watched her prepare it and jotted down the recipe. (Don't worry, I checked with my mom and she's totally on board with sharing with you!) Serve on a bed of fresh spinach with a side of refried beans. Garnish with fresh diced tomatoes, green onions, cheese, avocado slices, and crushed chile flakes.

Steps:
- 1. In a large stockpot, bring 6 quarts water to a boil. Place the bones and beef chuck in a second pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil and boil vigorously for 5 minutes. Using tongs, carefully transfer the bones and beef to the first pot of boiling water. Discard the water in which the meat cooked. (This cleans the bones and meat and reduces the impurities that can cloud the broth.) When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Skim the surface often to remove any foam and fat. Add the charred ginger and onions, fish sauce and sugar. Simmer until the beef chuck is tender, about 40 minutes. Remove one piece and submerge in cool water for 10 minutes to prevent the meat from darkening and drying out. Drain, then cut into thin slices and set aside. Let the other piece of beef chuck continue to cook in the simmering broth.
- 2. When the broth has been simmering for about 1 1/2 hours total, wrap the star anise and cloves in a spice bag (or piece of cheesecloth) and add to the broth. Let infuse until the broth is fragrant, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard both the spice bag and onions. Add the salt and continue to simmer, skimming as necessary, until you're ready to assemble the dish. The broth needs to cook for at least 2 hours. (The broth will taste salty but will be balanced once the noodles and accompaniments are added.) Leave the remaining chuck and bones to simmer in the pot while you assemble the bowls.
- 3. To serve, place the cooked noodles in preheated bowls. (If the noodles are not hot, reheat them in a microwave or dip them briefly in boiling water to prevent them from cooling down the soup.) Place a few slices of the beef chuck and the raw sirloin on the noodles. Bring the broth to a rolling boil; ladle about 2 to 3 cups into each bowl. The broth will cook the raw beef instantly. Garnish with yellow onions, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately, inviting guests to garnish the bowls with bean sprouts, herbs, chilies, lime juice and black pepper.
- How to Char Ginger and Onions:
- To char ginger, hold the piece with tongs directly over an open flame or place it directly on a medium-hot electric burner. While turning, char until the edges are slightly blackened and the ginger is fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes. Char the onions in the same way. Peel and discard the blackened skins of the ginger and onions, then rinse and add to the broth.

Tips for Cooking Perfect Beef and Rice Dishes:
- Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Opt for tender cuts like sirloin, tenderloin, or ribeye for quick-cooking dishes like stir-fries or fajitas. Slower-cooking methods like stews or braises work well with tougher cuts like chuck roast or brisket.
- Marinate Your Beef: Marinating tenderizes the beef and infuses it with flavor. Use a mixture of acidic ingredients like vinegar or citrus juice, aromatic herbs, and spices. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Cook Beef to the Right Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the beef is cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 135°F, and for medium, cook to 145°F. For well-done beef, cook to 160°F.
- Use the Correct Rice: Choose the right type of rice for your dish. Long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine is ideal for pilafs or stir-fries, while short-grain rice like sushi rice or arborio rice works well for risotto or paella.
- Rinse the Rice: Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, which helps prevent it from becoming gummy. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water until the water runs clear.
- Cook the Rice Properly: Follow the package instructions for cooking the rice. Generally, the ratio of rice to liquid is 1:2. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for the recommended time.
- Let the Rice Rest: After cooking, let the rice rest for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and prevents it from becoming mushy.
Conclusion:
Cooking delicious and satisfying beef and rice dishes is a culinary adventure that combines the flavors of tender beef, aromatic spices, and fluffy rice. With careful selection of ingredients, proper cooking techniques, and attention to detail, you can create mouthwatering meals that will delight your taste buds and impress your dinner guests. Experiment with different recipes, explore new flavors, and enjoy the versatility of beef and rice as you embark on a culinary journey that is both delicious and rewarding.
