  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Yellow Rice:
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the rice, turmeric, and cumin, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
  • Add the chicken broth and water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Cook the Steak:
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the steak strips to the skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Cook until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired doneness, about 4-6 minutes.
  • Drizzle with soy sauce and toss to coat. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Cook the Shrimp:
  • In the same skillet, add another 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the shrimp, seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until the shrimp is pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the shrimp and toss to coat. Remove from heat.
  • Cook the Bell Peppers:
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and cook over medium heat until they are tender but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine and Serve:
  • On a large serving platter, spread the yellow rice as the base.
  • Arrange the cooked steak strips, shrimp, and bell peppers on top of the rice.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
