Prepare the meat by marinating it with spices and herbs for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the marinated meat in a baking dish and cover with foil.

Bake the meat for 1-1.5 hours until tender, removing the foil for the last 30 minutes.

While the meat is baking, chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the chopped vegetables and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.

Stir in garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Prepare rice according to package instructions or cook in a rice cooker.

Once the meat is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve the meat alongside the sautéed vegetables and rice, garnished with fresh herbs.
