Remove dried beef from water, wash it well under running water, then remove fat and cut into small cubes. Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until limp. Do not let it brown! Add the dried beef and sauté. Add the rice and stir well. Add water, check for salt and only add any if necessary, (your dried beef is probably salty) cover the pan, and cook over low heat until almost all the water is absorbed (it should be nice and moist, not dry like regular Brazilian-style rice) and the grains are tender. Chop some parsley and sprinkle over the Arroz de Carreteiro right before bringing it to the table. Serves 4-6 people.
