Heat olive oil and melted butter in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in diced beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Add sliced carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic, black pepper, and salt, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add hot water to the pot and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes to tenderize the beef.

Remove the beef and set aside, keeping the broth in the pot.

Add rinsed rice to the pot, spreading it evenly over the broth.

Place the reserved beef on top of the rice, along with sliced red hot pepper.

Cover the pot tightly and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes, until rice is tender.

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Fluff the rice gently with a fork.
