👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Punch holes all over the beef cubes with a sharp fork to help them absorb the marinade.
💡 전문가 팁: This tenderizes the meat and allows flavors to penetrate.
2
In a bowl, combine the beef cubes, champagne, minced garlic, chopped chili peppers, salt, cayenne pepper, and curry powder. Marinate for at least 1 hour, turning the beef every 15 minutes.
3
While the beef marinates, prepare the peas and rice. In a pot, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper, onion, and celery. Sauté until softened and lightly browned.
4
Add the rice, pigeon peas, chicken broth, and chopped thyme to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
5
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef cubes (reserving the marinade) and sear until browned on all sides.
6
Add the reserved marinade to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
7
Fluff the peas and rice with a fork. Serve the Rikkita Beef alongside the peas and rice.
