Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Olive oil Most vegetable oils will work.
  • 908 g Stewing beef (cubed)
  • 500 g Brown rice
  • 2 tbsp Butter I used salted.
  • 2 Medium Onions (roughly chopped)
  • 4 Medium Carrots (julienned)
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 2 Whole Bay leaves
  • Season to taste
  • 700 ml Beef stock (hot)
  • 1 Whole Garlic bulb (cut in half horizontally)
  • 1 Bunch Parsley to garnish Optional

Instructions

  • Add the oil to the instant pot and brown the beef in batches (add more oil between batches if necessary). Set aside.
  • Whilst the beef is browning, rinse and drain the rice. Set aside.
  • When the last of the beef is removed, add the butter followed by the onion and fry until softened (around 3 minutes).
  • Add the carrots, paprika, cumin and bay leaves. Season to taste. Fry for another 3 minutes.
  • Add the beef back into the pot. Stir everything together and then add the rice (do not stir again)
  • Push the 2 halves of garlic down into the rice (cut side down) and gently pour the stock over the top (try not to disturb the rice).
  • Put the lid on the instant pot and set on high pressure for 30 minutes. Leave under pressure for another 15 minutes and then do a quick release.
  • Remove the lid and remove the garlic. Squeeze the garlic into the rice and then stir everything together.
  • Serve garnished with parsley.
