1. 1

   Place the beef chuck roast in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the quartered onion, bell pepper, smashed garlic cloves, bay leaves, and beef broth. Ensure the beef is mostly submerged.

   Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.

   💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first hour of simmering.

   Once the beef is tender, carefully remove it from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Reserve the cooking liquid.

   Using two forks, shred the beef into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded beef to the pot with the reserved cooking liquid. Simmer uncovered for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce and coat the beef, creating a rich sauce.

   While the beef is simmering, cook the white rice. Rinse the rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 4 cups of water and a pinch of salt.
