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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Season the dish with the remaining salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
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.
Turn off the heat and let the dish sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fluff the rice gently with a fork and discard the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
