Beef Rice Pilaf

Here is how to make it:

Rinse rice with cold water three times ( don't ask me why 3 times, my parents always told me to do so since I was a kid) and cook according to your rice cooker instructions or fill with water until about an inch over the rice. Please listen to Uncle Roger when it comes to making the rice 😂.

In the meantime, heat olive oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.

Sautee onions and garlic, then add carrots and potatoes.

Cook for about 5 minutes and add beef, and cover with a lid.

Cook for another 5 -10 minutes covered and add soy sauce. Cook until potatoes are cooked but not mushy.

You can add water to prevent it from burning or sticking if it looks too dry but usually, the meat and veggies create enough moisture.

In a separate pan cook the peas until tender. I usually boil it in water and then drain the water.

When the rice is cooked, put it into the meat and veggie mix and stir.

You can drizzle some olive oil if you prefer.

Plate the pilaf in a shallow bowl and garnish with peas around.
