Directions

1

Season beef with garlic salt and black pepper. Cook beef and red pepper in oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove beef and pepper; set aside.

2

Cook onion in butter until soft. Add rice and saffron; stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add sherry; stir until absorbed. Stir in 1 cup broth; cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue stirring and adding remaining 1 cup broth and water, allowing each cup to be absorbed before adding another, until rice is tender and mixture has a creamy consistency. It will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
