Add the beef and sear for 7–8 minutes. Then add the smoked meats and continue frying for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3) Add the onion, carrot, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the meat. Mix everything well, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook over medium heat for another 5 minutes. At the end, add tomato sauce. 4) Add the rinsed rice to the meat and vegetables, mix well, and fry for 2 minutes. Then pour in broth, bring to a boil, add bay leaf, and cook the pilaf over low heat, covered, for 20 minutes. Once the rice is tender, turn off the heat, portion the pilaf onto plates, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve. Enjoy your meal! Serve hot.
