Kazakhh Beef Plov Recipe By Tasty

BEEF PLOV (BEEF RICE PILAF) RECIPE

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 340° F (171° C). Skip this step if cooking on the stove top.
• Heat the oil in a Kazan or heavy-bottom dutch oven. Add cut-up meat into the oil and sauté until the meat is no longer red. Reduce heat to low and let cook, stirring periodically, until the water cooks out (about an hour). Then, add sliced onions to the meat and sauté until translucent.
• In the meantime, heat a separate skillet on medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Sauté carrots until slightly softened but still has a bite.
• When the onion is done cooking, add all the spices (cumin, garlic, black pepper, salt, bay leaf). Let cook for one minute. Add rice and water and bring to low boil.
• "Straighten" out rice and add carrots on the top, spreading them out evenly. Cover with lid and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. If using the stove top, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 40-45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven once cooked. Let sit for 15 minutes before opening.
• Mix the carrots into the rice and serve.
• Enjoy!
