Beef & Pepper Masala Rice Skillet

Method

1. 1

   Prep ingredients

   Slice the beef thinly across the grain, slice the peppers and onion, mince the garlic, and set out the rice, tomatoes, spices, and oil.
2. 2

   Cook the rice

   Rinse the rice and combine it with 450 ml water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and simmer over low heat.

   17 min
3. 3

   Soften the vegetables

   Heat half the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; stir-fry the bell pepper and onion, turning often, until just softened, then transfer to a plate.

   5 min

   Tip: Keep the skillet hot so the peppers stay crisp-tender.

4. 4

   Sear the beef

   Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over high heat; add the beef in a single layer and turn once, then stir in the garlic and garam masala.

   5 min

   Tip: Cook in batches if the skillet is crowded.

5. 5

   Finish and serve

   Stir the tomatoes and reserved vegetables into the skillet over medium heat. Taste and adjust with salt and a few grinds of black pepper; serve over rice.
