Method

Step 1: Marinate the beef

In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the cucumber and tomato salsa

In another mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.

Step 3: Make the garlic sauce

In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 4: Cook the beef and rice

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the rinsed jasmine rice, beef broth, and salt. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cover the pan. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 5: Assemble the dish

To assemble, top the cooked rice with the cooked beef. Add the cucumber and tomato salsa on top, then drizzle with the garlic sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
