Beef Stir-Fry with Rice and Vegetables

 Ingredients: Quantities for three people: 600 g beef tenderloin, 3 bell peppers, 3 medium carrots, 1 leek, 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 3 tablespoons long-grain rice/12 tablespoons water, 1.5 tablespoons butter, salt, pepper, oil, parsley, green onion.

Clean the white membrane of the beef tenderloin, making sure to remove any fat or impurities. Once finished, place the meat in the refrigerator for an hour or two to firm up slightly, which will make it easier to slice. Once the time has passed, take out the tenderloin and, being slightly frozen, cut it into very thin slices, preferably with a sharp knife. Place the slices on a clean napkin, leaving them at room temperature to thaw completely and remove excess water.

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Slice the leek, peppers, and carrots into thin slices so they cook evenly and integrate perfectly into the dish. These vegetables not only add color but also a delicious crunchy texture. In a separate pot, bring salted water and butter to a boil, then add the rice. Let it boil for 17 minutes, or until it becomes fluffy and absorbs the flavors from the sauce.

Next, heat the wok over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of oil, ensuring that the oil evenly covers the bottom of the wok. When the oil is hot, add the slices of beef tenderloin, frying them quickly while stirring constantly to avoid releasing juices. It is crucial for the meat to become golden without leaving water to achieve a perfect texture.

Once the meat is browned, add the sliced vegetables and stir continuously. Let them soften a bit, then pour in 3 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, adjusting the taste with salt and pepper to preference. Continue cooking the mixture over high heat for another minute or two, adding 3-4 tablespoons of water to help bind the flavors. When the dish is nearly ready, add the cooked rice, stirring everything until the ingredients are well integrated.

Finally, turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and some green onion tops on top for an extra touch of freshness and flavor. Serve the dish immediately, savoring each bite of this delicious blend of meat, vegetables, and rice that will delight your senses. This recipe is not only tasty but also offers an unforgettable culinary experience.
