Provided by Natures Cuisine

Time 14h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb dried kidney beans (black, pinto, etc.)
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 slices raw bacon, chopped
1/4 lb sirloin (or any other raw meat(approximately 8-10 1-inch cubes)
1 1/2 cups white rice
3 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

Beans (Soaking): Rinse and sort beans. Cook beans with water in the pressure cooker for 30-40 minutes (I like to soak overnight, then cook for several hours in a crock pot).
Marinade: Combine all marinade ingredients. Marinade meat for an hour or two.
Onion Mixture: In frying pan, add oil. Cook onion, garlic and meat cubes.
After meat is cooked, reserve about 1/4 of mixture for the rice (reserving the large pieces of meat for the beans).
Beans: Add bacon to pan with onion mixture.
After bacon is cooked, add the cooked beans and some water until it is a little thick (I like to add all the frying pan ingredients to the crock pot and cook for several more hours).
Rice: Bring water to boiling. Add rice, salt and reserved onion mixture. Simmer for 20 minutes.
