Dried beef rice

Directions

The night before, Soak the dried beef in a bowl with enough water to cover it entirely.

2. Remove dried beef from water, wash it well under running water, then remove fat and cut into small cubes.

3. Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until limp.

4. Do not let it brown! Add the dried beef and sauté. Add the rice and stir well.

5. Add water, check for salt and only add any if necessary (your dried beef is probably salty), cover the pan, and cook over low heat until almost all the water is absorbed (it should be nice and moist) and the grains are tender.

6. Chop some parsley and sprinkle over the arroz de carreteiro right before bringing it to the table.
