Instructions
Cut dried beef into medium cubes. Soak overnight to remove excess salt.
Drain beef. Rub with garlic and stand for 5 minutes, to marinate. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until browned. Drain oil.
Add the water gradually, until beef is soft.
Add onion, capsicum and tomato. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Increase heat to high. Add rice and stir to coat grains. Add water to cover and stir to combine. Season with salt. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked.
Remove from heat and use a fork to fluff up rice. Scatter with parsley and chives. Serve warm.
