Sprinkle in cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, cumin, turmeric, and black pepper, stirring to coat the beef.

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer; cover and cook for 1-1.5 hours until beef is tender.

Remove beef and set aside; strain the broth and return it to the pot.

Add rinsed basmati rice to the pot with the strained broth and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Fluff rice with a fork and return the beef to the pot, mixing gently.

Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
