Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups bacon, fried until crispy and crumbled
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 cup rice, cooked according to package instructions
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Additional bacon grease (reserved from frying bacon)
Instructions:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by frying the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it becomes irresistibly crispy. Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside to cool. |
| 2 | Now, here’s where the magic begins. Leave about 1/3 of the bacon grease in the skillet, ensuring to reserve the rest for later. |
| 3 | While the bacon is sizzling away, cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked to perfection, set it aside for later use. |
| 4 | In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, add the chopped onion. Cook it until it becomes beautifully tender and aromatic. |
| 5 | Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, fry up the steak until it’s perfectly cooked to your liking. Once done, drain any excess grease and set the steak aside. |
| 6 | Back to the skillet with the onions, add the crumbled bacon and the cooked rice. Stir everything together over low heat, ensuring that the rice gets thoroughly coated in all that savory goodness. |
| 7 | If the mixture seems a bit dry, don’t fret! Slowly incorporate some of the reserved bacon grease until you achieve your desired consistency. Personally, I like to use about half of the saved grease for that extra indulgence. |
| 8 | Season your Indonesian Rice with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Feel free to adjust the spice level according to your preference. |
| 9 | Once everything is perfectly seasoned and combined, it’s time to serve up this culinary masterpiece. Whether as a main dish or a side, Indonesian Rice is guaranteed to impress. |
| 10 | Gather your loved ones around the table and savor every bite of this flavorful delight. Enjoy the tantalizing blend of savory bacon, tender steak, and aromatic spices. Bon appétit! |
