Beef Pilaf (beef plov) all in one pot is hearty, cozy, and oh-so-tasty. This easy beef pilaf recipe is one that you’ll want to make over and over again on a busy midweek meal.

Gather the ingredients you'll need:

oil meat onion carrots black pepper sea salt cumin water rice garlic

Peel onion, and take the first layer first off and put it in pan with oil. After onion gets brown, take it out and throw away (This step is just for the flavor.).

In the same pot, turn down the heat to medium-low, add in the meat, sprinkle salt, and black pepper. Stir.

Once meat has browned, add onion, carrots, water, cumin, peeled garlic  and salt. Stir and then bring to a boil.

Top with the washed rice but don’t stir it. Cover pan, set on low heat if you haven’t already and let it cook for 35-40 minutes.

Serve with dill pickles!

Expert Tips:

Use white rice and not brown rice for this specific recipe.

When picking beef, use beef stew meat or tenderloin for a more tender texture or sirloin. Cook time for beef may vary.

Use only a 2:1 water ratio so you don’t get mushy rice.
