Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Finely chop cilantro.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Drain olives, reserving brine. Roughly chop olives.
Start stew
3
  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium-high. When the pan is hot, add beef. Season with salt and pepper
  • Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
  • Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
Finish stew
4
  • To the beef, add garlic, onions, peppers and Chili-Cumin Spice Blend. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often. Add cooking wine, then cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until liquid is reduced by half and veggies are tender-crisp.
  • Add crushed tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, then add raisins and olives. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often, until liquid has reduced. (TIP: For a more brine-forward dish, add some of the reserved olive brine.) Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
5
  • To the rice, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and half the cilantro. Fluff with a fork.
  • Divide rice between bowls, then top with stew.
  • Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.
