"Paella is a traditional Spanish rice dish from the city of Valencia. It is one of the best-known dishes in Spanish cuisine. Paella got its name from the wide, shallow traditional pan used to cook the dish. There are so many paella versions from the traditional to black paella, however, this recipe is about adding some deep flavor with beef stock and a few ounces of beef to add a depth of flavor."
