Tips for preparing Rice, Beef, and other Vegetables:
- For easy preparation, place beef in the freezer for 1 hour before slicing; it will be easier to slice when partially frozen. Don’t keep it in the freezer for more than 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- For more flavor, use any leftover beef broth to replace part of the water used for cooking the rice. This way you will have more beef-flavored rice, more nutritious and better cooked (this is a PRO tip, I recommend you to keep it 😀 )
- If you use frozen green beans, frozen broccoli or any other frozen vegetable, put them in a strainer, then run cold water over them until the vegetables can be separated easily. Don’t run hot water over them.
