BEEF PLOV (BEEF RICE PILAF) RECIPE
This recipe makes a big batch which is great since it reheats really well. That's my favorite way to eat it; crisped over a skillet and served with a pickle.

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.
INSTANT POT BEEF RICE PILAF (BEEF PLOV)
Steps:
- Turn the Instant Pot to "Saute" function (30 min). When the display says "Hot" add 2 tbsp of oil and the 1 large diced onion and saute until lightly golden in color, about 5 minutes. Then add 2 cut up carrots, 1.5 lb of cubed beef and stir.
- Next, add 1 tsp of ground pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp beef seasoning (if using), 2 tsp salt, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, and 1 bay leaf and the 1.5 cups of beef stock. Stir.
- Cover the Instant Pot with a lid, turn the steam valve to "sealing". Turn the pressure cooker to "Manual" and "High" heat for 45 minutes. Then once the time expires, cover the steam valve with a kitchen towel and turn it to "venting" to release pressure. Open the lid when the pressure is down.
- Remove the bay leaf. Sprinkle 1.5 cups of rice over the top (do not stir) and spread it evenly with a spoon (so all rice is covered with liquid). Press halved garlic head, cut side into the rice. Cover with lid, turn the steam valve to "sealing". Turn the Instant pot to "Manual" on "High" heat and set the timer to 15 minutes.
- After the time expires turn the Instant Pot off and allow to depressurize naturally for 15-20 minutes (this step is important). Next, turn the steam valve to "venting" and allow the rest of the steam to escape. Now open the lid, remove the garlic and squeeze it back into the rice (optional), add the parsley and gently fluff the rice with a fork for the ingredients to be evenly distributed.

Steps:
- Place rice in a bowl, cover with warm water, and soak while meat is cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat and saute bones until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer bones to a plate. Add onion to the same pot and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add beef and brown on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Return bones to the pan and stir in carrots. Sprinkle with cumin. Add whole chile peppers and garlic; stir everything together and season with salt. Pour in enough hot water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until flavors are well combined, 35 to 40 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your pilaf. Choose high-quality rice, beef, and vegetables.
- Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking will help to remove any starch and impurities. This will result in a fluffier, more flavorful pilaf.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Brown the beef before adding it to the rice: Browning the beef will help to develop its flavor and give the pilaf a richer taste.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook the rice will add a lot of flavor to the pilaf. Choose a broth that you enjoy the taste of, such as beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to pilaf. Choose vegetables that you enjoy the taste of, such as carrots, celery, onions, and peas.
- Season the pilaf to taste: Season the pilaf with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or thyme, for extra flavor.
- Let the pilaf rest before serving: After cooking the pilaf, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavors and become more tender.
Conclusion:
One-pot rice and beef pilaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice and beef. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
