Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced beef sirloin and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for a few more minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

  3. Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir well to combine with the vegetables. Sprinkle the paprika and ground cumin over the mixture, stirring to coat everything evenly.

  4. Add the cooked black beans to the skillet, mixing them in with the beef and vegetable mixture.

  5. Pour in the white rice and beef broth, making sure the rice is submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

  6. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

  7. Serve the Arroz De Carreteiro hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by lime wedges on the side for a burst of citrus flavor.
