Beef and Wild Rice Pilaf Savory Beef and Aromatic Wild Rice Pilaf Ingredients: 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced 1 cup wild rice blend 2 1/2 cups beef broth 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 carrot, diced 1 celery stalk, diced 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Salt to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Directions: Rinse the wild rice under cold water and drain. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the wild rice and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the beef broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. While the rice cooks, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and just cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove beef and set aside. In the same skillet, add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-6 minutes. When the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and stir in the cooked vegetables, thyme, and beef. Mix gently to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
