A light Uzbek plov in which the rice simmers with a generous handful of fresh herbs and tender beef. The result is a fragrant, pale dish with a fresh herbal flavor.

Method

Cut the beef into small pieces and finely chop the onion. Rinse the rice in several changes of water until the water runs clear.
Heat the oil in a kazan or a heavy-bottomed pot and fry the beef over high heat for 8–10 minutes, until browned.
Add the onion and fry for another 3–4 minutes, then pour in 150 ml of hot water and simmer the meat, covered, over low heat for 30–40 minutes.
Finely chop the cilantro, parsley, dill and green onion. Add two thirds of the herbs to the kazan, then add salt and pepper.
Spread the rice in an even layer and pour in the remaining hot water so that it covers the rice by 1–1.5 cm. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid and simmer over the lowest heat for 20–25 minutes.
Remove from the heat, add the remaining herbs, stir gently and leave covered for 10 minutes. Serve hot.
