I found this recipe back in the 1950's and have made some minor adjustments over the years to update the flavor. In summer, I like to serve the pilaf over slices of red tomatoes. -Cynthia Gobeli, Norton, Ohio

Tips:

  • To make the perfect beef pilaf, use high-quality ingredients. Choose tender cuts of beef, such as sirloin or flank steak. Use long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine rice. And use flavorful spices, such as cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • Before cooking the rice, rinse it thoroughly in cold water. This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • When cooking the rice, use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 1 3/4 cups of liquid. This will result in fluffy, tender rice.
  • Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Stirring the rice will release the starch and make the rice gummy.
  • After the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This will help the rice absorb the flavors of the spices.
  • Serve the beef pilaf with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include yogurt, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.

Conclusion:

Beef pilaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover beef, and it can be easily customized to your own taste. With its tender beef, flavorful rice, and aromatic spices, beef pilaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
