Simple Plov

There are days I crave Russian food, like today. Specifically, Plov, a rice dish usually eaten with a meat entree. For the sake of cravings, it was all I desired today. My father-in-law usually cooks this delicious rice dish, but he was at work so I tried my hand at it. It tastes fairly close, yet still, his is better.
