Beef Plov (Beef Rice Pilaf) Recipe image

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.

Categories     Medium

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lbs Beef chuck (beef sirloin or good quality beef stew meat)
1/3 cup canola oil (or extra light olive oil (not extra virgin))
2 medium onions (finely chopped)
3 medium carrots (cut into matchsticks or grated)
1 tsp salt for the meat and veggies + 1 1/2 tsp salt for the rice
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
3-4 bay leaves
1 3/4 cups hot water for braising meat
3 cups long grain rice (Basmati or Jasmin rice work great!)
4 cups hot water when cooking rice
1 tsp ground coriander
1 head of garlic

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.

Provided by Marina | Let the Baking Begin

Categories     Entree     Side Dish

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lb beef, chuck, cubed to 1 inches, fat trimmed
2 tbsp oil
1 1/2 cup short-grain rice, rinsed until the water runs clear (, well-drained )
1 large onion, diced
2 carrot, medium size, cut to 1/2 inch
1/2 cup tomato sauce ((optional, can be replaced with beef stock or water))
1 1/2 cups beef broth ((could be replaced with water))
1 tsp black ground pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp beef seasoning (optional) ((I use Montreal Steak Seasoning))
1 bay leaf
2 tsp salt
1 head garlic, cut in half horizontally
1/4 cup chopped parsley

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.

ONE-POT RICE AND BEEF PILAF



One-Pot Rice and Beef Pilaf image

This is an easy one-pot meal with beef, rice, and carrots. I have also made it using lamb.

Provided by Natasha Titanov

Categories     Everyday Cooking

Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup olive oil
2 cups uncooked white rice
2 pounds bone-in beef pot roast, boned and cubed
1 onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
4 carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 fresh red chile peppers
1 head garlic, unpeeled
salt to taste
hot water to cover

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.
  • Remove bones with kitchen tongs and add rice. Pour in 2 cups hot water and smooth the rice out so it lays flat on the top, but do not stir. Cover pot and cook over low heat until rice is soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir together before serving.

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.
