Ingredients

For the Stew:

  • 2 1/2 lbs (1.1 kg) beef chuck or shank, cut into large chunks
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) dry red wine
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400g) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 fresh tomatoes, grated or chopped
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 1 cup (240ml) beef broth or water (more as needed)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional)

For the Fried Rice:

  • 3 cups cooked medium-grain rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season beef, brown in batches in hot olive oil. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté onion until golden, add garlic briefly. Deglaze with wine, reduce slightly.
  3. Add tomatoes, cinnamon, cloves, sugar if using, and return beef. Add broth to cover and simmer 1.5–2 hours until tender.
  4. Fried Rice: Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add rice, stir-fry until heated through. Push rice aside, scramble eggs, then mix with rice. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley.
  5. Serve stew alongside fried rice, garnished with parsley.

Notes

  • Remove cinnamon and cloves before serving.
  • Use day-old rice for best texture.
  • For richer rice, add a little butter before serving.
