Ingredients

• 500 grams Sirloin steak
• 2 cups Long-grain basmati rice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 4 pods Cardamom pods, lightly crushed
• 3.5 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 stick Cinnamon stick

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 15 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Pat the sirloin steak dry with paper towels, then cut it into bite-sized cubes. Season the steak pieces with half a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper.

Step 3

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and golden.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick. Cook for an additional 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their aroma.

Step 6

Add the drained basmati rice to the pot and stir to coat the grains in the spiced oil mixture. Toast the rice for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato paste and mix well with the rice and spices. Pour in the chicken broth, then add the browned sirloin steak back into the pot.

Step 8

Season the dish with the remaining salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer gently for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and let the dish sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 11

Fluff the rice gently with a fork and discard the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
