Preparation

Cut the beef into cubes and brown it for 8 minutes in the hot oil in a large pot.
Add the sliced onion, sauté for 4 minutes, then add the blended tomatoes and tomato paste, and let stew for 8 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots and shredded cabbage, stir for 2 minutes.
Pour in the rinsed, drained rice, stirring to coat it well in the tomato sauce.
Pour in the hot stock, season with salt, bring to a boil, then cover and lower the heat to minimum.
Cook for 20 minutes without lifting the lid, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and turned a lovely orange color.
Remove from heat, let rest covered for 5 minutes, fluff with a fork, and serve hot.
