Method

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pan and brown the beef chuck for 6-7 minutes. Lift out.

  2. 2

    Add the onion, garlic and red pepper and cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Return the beef to the pan, pour over the beef stock, cover and simmer for 40 minutes, until the beef is tender.

  4. 4

    Stir in the rice, cover and cook for a further 18-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

  5. 5

    Scatter with fresh coriander and serve straight from the pan.
