After getting married, it took me quite a while to figure out how to cook rice so that it doesn’t come out mushy or too dry. Finally, I have come to a recipe of Beef Pilaf that produces soft, fluffy rice that’s perfectly cooked in the beef juices. No overcooked or undercooked rice, and no tough meat. Follow my instructions precisely and you will have the most amazing results!
