Beef with orzo pasta in the oven

Beef with orzo pasta in the oven

Ingredients:
1 kg of beef (muscle or chest that can be used for soup)
1 big onion thinly sliced
1 tomato can
2 beef stock cubes
1 or 2 laurel leaves
Pepper
1/2 kg of medium size orzo pasta

Preparation:
I put the beef to boil as we make it when we want a soup: half a pot of water, the laurel leaves, the stock cubes and, of course, the beef. I used the pressure cooker for some fastest result. When it was ready but water was still half the pot, I added the onion and the tomato and let it boil till it was done. I heated the oven in the 180 degrees. Kept the meat in a plate and put all the liquid of the cooking pot in a baking pot and let it bubble to make sure it had not lost temperature. When bubbling I added 1/2 kg of orzo, used a long spoon to evenly spread it in the tomato sauce checking it from time to time. When all liquid was absorbed I put the beef pieces inside to have them all warmed with the heat of the past. It is served with grated cheese.

Itadakimasu!
