- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds
- 2 cups white rice

- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Directions
Heat a sauce pot over medium heat, add butter to the pot and melt. Add almonds and toast 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice and the zest of an orange and a lemon then turn the rice to coat, cook 1 minute. Add stock and bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover and cook 17 to 18 minutes.
While rice cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 turns of the pan. Pat meat dry. When oil ripples and begins to smoke, add the beef and brown 3 minutes on each side. Remove when evenly deep brown and reserve on plate.
Add remaining olive oil to skillet, 3 turns, heat until oil ripples then add mushrooms and brown 7 to 8 minutes. Add garlic after 5 to 6 minutes.

We did not like this recipe at all...meat way too hard and very plain which was surprising with all of the ingredients. We also did not like the rice. Not a fan and will not fix again.

So I got to the part where the rice was cooking and my beef was browned and in a seperate bowl I then got my mushrooms going and started adding all the liquids and the beef and realized that this will be too runny and I like a thicker base. So I took out about 1/4 of a cup out of the pan and whisked in a little flour...about two tablespoons and added that to the pan. I tasted it and it was kind of bland so I took two sprigs of rosemary and two sprigs of thyme and threw it in the mix and let is simmer for about 40mins. I removed the sprigs and enjoyed the heck out of it! It was sooooo good. It was good by it's self. The rice has nice flavor too!
