Instructions

Step 1

Wash the meat and pour it into a pot. Add salt, bouillon and six cups of water. Mix well and cook on medium heat until the meat is done.

Step 2

Turn off the stove and remove the meat from the pot and set the pot aside for the broth to cool.

Step 3

Place a clean pot on the stove, add cooking oil and allow it to heat up. Stir fry the meat on medium heat until it’s golden brown then remove and set aside.

Step 4

Add the tomato paste, the tomato puree, and red bell pepper puree into the same pot of oil and mix well. Allow the tomato sauce to cook on low heat while stirring intermittently to prevent it from burning until it’s cooked.

Step 5

Wash the parboiled rice under running tap water until the colors of the rice water change from being cloudy to transparent to remove the starch suspension.

Step 6

Pour the rice into the pot and add curry powder, white pepper, anise, the Keng’s Kitchen’s All Purpose Green Spice Marinade, and the beef broth. Adjust the taste with salt and bouillon to your preference if needed and mix well for all the ingredients to combine.

Step 7

Cover the pot with a layer of parchment paper/fuel wrap first; then cover the pot with the lid. Allow the pot to cook on medium heat.

Step 8

Observe the rice while it’s cooking and add a cup of water at time if needed until the rice is 80% cooked.

Step 9

Add the carrots, green beans and beef into the pot and cover the pot as directed in step 8.

Step 10

Set the stove on low heat for the rice to get done; and the green beans and carrots are also cooked but they remain crunchy.

Step 11

Gently mix the carrots, green beans and beef so they are evenly distributed into the rice.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy with a favorite drink.
