Brazilian Beans And Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb dried kidney beans (black, pinto, etc.)
    Marinade
    1 teaspoon oregano
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup white vinegar
    Onion Mixture
    1 large onion, chopped
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    3 slices raw bacon, chopped
    1/4 lb sirloin (or any other raw meat(approximately 8-10 1-inch cubes)
    Rice
    1 1/2 cups white rice
    3 cups water
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Preparation
    Beans (Soaking): Rinse and sort beans. Cook beans with water in the pressure cooker for 30-40 minutes (I like to soak overnight, then cook for several hours in a crock pot).
    Marinade: Combine all marinade ingredients. Marinade meat for an hour or two.
    Onion Mixture: In frying pan, add oil. Cook onion, garlic and meat cubes.
    After meat is cooked, reserve about 1/4 of mixture for the rice (reserving the large pieces of meat for the beans).
    Beans: Add bacon to pan with onion mixture.
    After bacon is cooked, add the cooked beans and some water until it is a little thick (I like to add all the frying pan ingredients to the crock pot and cook for several more hours).
    Rice: Bring water to boiling. Add rice, salt and reserved onion mixture. Simmer for 20 minutes.
