1
Cut the neck steaks into small, fork-sized pieces.
2
Heat clarified butter in a Dutch oven or large pot, add the meat, and let it brown without stirring until the surface is golden.
3
Prepare the bell peppers by cutting off the top and bottom, removing the seeds, and slicing the pepper into strips.
4
Slice the onions into half rings, mince the garlic, and dice the tomatoes into small pieces.
5
Once the meat is browned, add the minced garlic and let it sizzle briefly, then immediately add the onion slices to prevent the garlic from burning; the onion's moisture will protect it and allow everything to caramelize together.
6
Once the onions are softened and caramelized, add the bell pepper strips and stir briefly to allow them to color and release their flavor.
7
Add the tomato paste, stir it in briefly, then add the diced tomatoes.
8
Season with marjoram, paprika powder, and chili flakes, stirring gently to bring out the flavors.
9
Season with salt and black pepper, then pour in the vegetable broth and add the raw rice, stirring to combine.
10
Cover the pot and braise for about 25 minutes, until the rice is tender, has absorbed most of the liquid, and the meat is very tender.
11
Top each serving with a fried egg as the traditional finishing touch.
