BEEF PLOV (BEEF RICE PILAF) RECIPE



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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, is best for pilaf because it doesn't clump together as much as short-grain rice.
  • Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking removes the starch, which helps to prevent it from sticking together.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the rice to the pot, make sure there is enough room for the grains to move around and cook evenly.
  • Use a fork to fluff the rice: Once the rice is cooked, use a fork to fluff it up to separate the grains.
  • Add your favorite spices and vegetables: Pilaf is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and spices. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.

Conclusion:

Spicy beef pilaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With its combination of tender beef, fluffy rice, and aromatic spices, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
