1

Begin by cutting the beef into small pieces and seasoning them with salt and pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

2

In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the beef and brown it for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

3

In the same pot, add diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Sauté these vegetables until they are softened and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

4

Return the beef to the pot. Add the tomato sauce, cumin, and beef broth. Stir well, ensuring everything is mixed together. Bring this mixture to a boil.

5

Once boiling, add the rice. Stir again, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the flavors.

6

While the rice is cooking, chop the cilantro finely for garnish.

7

After the cooking time, check the rice. If it’s done, fluff it with a fork and sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top. Let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes to enhance the flavor.

Serve hot on individual plates and enjoy your delicious Arroz con Carne!
