1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) boneless beef (shoulder meat), cut into bite-sized cubes

2 mid-sized onions, diced

5-7 garlic cloves, diced

2-3 tablespoons butter, room temperature

1 teaspoon baharat

Salt

Pepper

Parsley

For rice:

2 cups rice 1/2 cup vermicelli pasta

2 tablespoons corn oil

1 tablespoon butter, room temperature

1 cup almonds, diced

3. Add onion, garlic, salt, pepper and baharat to taste. Mix well.

4. Add water to cover meat and cook for 30-45 minutes over low heat. Drizzle hot water along the way to prevent the pot from burning.

For rice:

1. Stir-fry vermicelli in a pot with oil over medium heat until it changes color.

2. Add the rinsed rice and butter. Fry for 1 more minute.

3. Add 3 cups of water, salt and cinnamon.

4. When water starts to boil, cover pot with lid and reduce heat to low, cooking for 30 minutes until rice is well-done.

5. Garnish with almonds and serve alongside kebab. May add mixed green salad on the side.
