One-Pot Rice and Beef Pilaf Recipe

Place rice in a bowl cover with warm water and soak while meat is cooking.

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat and saute bones until lightly browned about 5 minutes. Transfer bones to a plate. Add onion to the same pot and cook until soft and translucent about 5 minutes. Add beef and brown on all sides 5 to 10 minutes.

Return bones to the pan and stir in carrots. Sprinkle with cumin. Add whole chile peppers and garlic; stir everything together and season with salt. Pour in enough hot water to cover. Bring to a boil reduce heat and simmer until flavors are well combined 35 to 40 minutes.

Remove bones with kitchen tongs and add rice. Pour in 2 cups hot water and smooth the rice out so it lays flat on the top but do not stir. Cover pot and cook over low heat until rice is soft 20 to 25 minutes. Stir together before serving.
