Meat dishes with garlic

Heat oil in a pan and fry the meat and bacon over high heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes until browned. Add the onions, garlic, and bell peppers and continue to fry for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Meanwhile, add the rice and tomatoes to the cold meat broth, heat through, and when the contents of the pan begin to boil, transfer everything to an ovenproof dish. Season generously with salt and pepper, pour over the contents of the pan, and season again with salt and pepper. Cover the dish and bake in the oven at high heat for about 1 hour. To serve, arrange the parsley in a separate bowl.
