On medium heat, in a pot, pour 4-5 Tablespoons of oil, peel onion, and take the first layer first off and put it in pan. Then, chop the rest of the onion and put aside.
1 Tbsp light olive oil, 1 yellow onion,
After onion gets brown/gold color, 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 (stew size cut), sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Stir.
1 lb beef, 1 tsp salt,, black pepper,
While meat is frying, grate the carrots, wash the rice, and if you haven’t already, chop the onion.
2-3 carrots,, 1 cup white rice, 1 yellow onion,
When meat has browned up a little bit, add in the onion, stir, and let the flavors of meat and onion blend together for 1-2 minutes.
1 yellow onion,
Add in the carrots, mix, and add in 2 cups of water, 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Cumin, and 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste).
2-3 carrots,, 1½ Tbsp cumin, 2 cups water, 1 tsp salt,
Peel garlic and add to pan. Don’t mince; I used one garlic clove because I had a big garlic as a whole, If you have a smaller garlic you could even use it all or few cloves.
1-2 cloves garlic,
Bring to a boil, turn heat to low, and put in the washed rice but don’t stir it.
1 cup white rice
Cover pan, set on low heat if you haven’t already and let it cook for 35-40 minutes before enjoying.
