Cooking steps
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef slices, minced garlic, chopped chili peppers, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef with the spices. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the cauliflower florets and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender. Remove the cauliflower from the skillet and set aside.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add rice, butter, and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
Return the beef to the skillet and add the cooked cauliflower. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat everything through.
Serve the spicy Mediterranean beef with garlic, chili-pepper, and cauliflower over a bed of cooked rice. Enjoy!

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
