Jollof Rice with Beef and Plantains
Simmered parboiled rice and tender beef in a vibrant tomato-pepper base, served with sweet caramelized plantains for a smoky and savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Beef sirloin
0.25 cup Parboiled long-grain rice
0.25 cup Tomato puree
0.25 cup Red bell pepper
0.25 cup Red onion
1 tsp Olive oil
0.25 cup Ripe yellow plantain
0.5 cup Beef bone broth
0.5 tsp Dried thyme
0.5 tsp Curry powder
1 piece Bay leaf
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Fresh ginger
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the cubed beef sirloin with sea salt and black pepper.
Pulse the red bell pepper and red onion in a food processor until they are finely minced.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and sear the beef until browned on all sides.
Stir in the minced garlic, fresh ginger, dried thyme, and curry powder, sautéing until fragrant.
Add the tomato puree and the minced pepper-onion mixture to the pot, cooking for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Stir in the parboiled rice, beef bone broth, and bay leaf, then cover and simmer on low heat until the liquid is fully absorbed.
Slice the ripe plantain into rounds and bake on a parchment-lined tray at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until golden and caramelized.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot with the caramelized plantains on the side.
