DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Sear the meat: Season the sirloin - just use it how it comes out of the tray from the grocery store - with 1 teaspoon of salt on each side.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke. Place the sirloin in the skillet in one piece and let it sear until it browns and caramelizes, 3 to 5 minutes. Then flip it and repeat, 3 to 5 minutes longer.
• Once the block of sirloin is well browned - nearly caramelized, chop it up in the pan with a metal spatula to sear the inside bits. Add the black pepper, cumin and cayenne and stir well. Cook for a minute. Add the beer to deglaze the pan, and cook 1 minute longer, scraping up any browned bits. Remove from the heat and set aside. At this point, you could freeze the meat.
• Make the gravy: Start by making a dark roux. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat until it just starts to smoke. Add the flour and immediately start stirring with a long-handled spoon. Stir constantly, scraping the bottom and edges well to keep the flour from burning. Once it's the color of milk chocolate, anywhere from 4 to 15 minutes (the most important thing to watch is the color of the roux), add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and stir together. Cook for a minute. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Add the beer and mix well.
• In 1/3-cup increments, add the stock, stirring well between each addition. Reduce heat to low and stir frequently, but not continuously, until you have a well-emulsified gravy, thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes.
• Once the gravy is done, add the cooked beef. Bring the meat and gravy mixture back to a bare simmer. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until the sauce has no chalky or floury flavor.
• Make the rice: While the gravy is cooking, put rice, 2 cups water, salt and bay leaf in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and bring to a bare simmer. Stir, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let steam in the covered pan for another 10 minutes, until all water is absorbed. Fluff with fork. Spread it out in a single layer on a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve: Add the cooked rice, butter and scallions to the meat gravy in the pot. Stir it all together over low heat, just to warm it all through. Add salt to taste and serve.
