40 minutes

Rice with beef and mushrooms is a dish where the tenderness of meat, earthy aroma of mushrooms, and airy texture of rice harmoniously combine. Its roots trace back to European cuisine, where simple yet rich flavors are highly valued. Thanks to a marinade of wine, soy sauce, and starch, the beef becomes tender and juicy, while sautéed vegetables add freshness and pleasant crunchiness. Sesame seeds complement the composition with a light nutty note. This versatile dish can be served as a standalone treat or accompanied by a glass of good wine. It is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a romantic evening when one wants to enjoy the richness of flavors and aromas in every bite.
