@vadearroces recipe: Matured beef ribeye rice
INGREDIENTS:
STEP BY STEP
1.- Melt the fat from the steak
To prepare our sofrito, the first thing we have to do is melt some cubes of fat from the beef steak that we are going to use. Melt and then remove the fat.
2.- Fry onion and garlic
Once the fat is melted, add 30 ml of oil, a little salt, and begin to fry the onion and garlic.
3.- Sauté tomato
With the onion and garlic prepared, add the grated tomato and let the water contained in the tomato evaporate.
4.- Toast paprika from La Vera and evaporate red vermouth
When the water has evaporated, add paprika, when it is toasted, add a splash of red vermouth - about 40 ml - and let it evaporate.
5.- Add broth and saffron infusion
With our sauce ready, add the meat broth and the saffron infusion, once it starts to boil, add the rice and let it cook.

6.- Cook the rice
Make sure to distribute the rice evenly over the paella pan, once it is well distributed, do not move it under any circumstances during its 15 minutes of cooking.
7.- Brown the steak and season the rice
When we turn off the heat and let the rice rest, in a separate pan we cook each side of the steak, previously tempered, for 2-3 minutes. Once marked, we carve and use it to dress the rice.
8.- Ready to eat
After following these steps, you’ll end up with an aged beef ribeye rice like no other. Share it with a fellow diner and enjoy, paella lovers!
Va de arroces
Va de Arroces was born from Jose and Silvia’s passion for cooking different rice dishes every week.
It all began in the summer of 2022, when during their holidays, the pots and the butane gas bottle traveled like just another suitcase wherever Jose and Silvia went.
During those holidays, and under pressure from their group of friends to open an Instagram account, brainstorming sessions about the page name started to pop up — between long after-dinner conversations and beer-filled afternoons.
Until finally, in October 2022, the rice-themed account of these two amateur cooks became a reality. They thought they had recorded a few recipes to get started, but once they began sharing their dishes and learning more about the craft, they realized the ones recorded that summer weren’t worthy of posting (and those rice dishes still haven’t seen the light, even though they were delicious).
From that moment on, and week by week, different rice dishes have been cooked and enjoyed — mostly shared with friends and/or family, which is one of the essential ingredients for a great rice meal.
