1

Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

2

Once hot, add 500 grams of beef (cut into small pieces) and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned.

3

Add 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped bell pepper, and 3 minced garlic cloves to the pan. Sauté for another 5 minutes until vegetables are softened.

4

Stir in 2 chopped tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.

5

Add 1 cup of rice to the mixture and stir well, allowing it to toast for 1-2 minutes.

6

Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring it to a boil.

7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 25 minutes. Avoid opening the lid during this time.

After 25 minutes, remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Fluff with a fork and enjoy!
