Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
Pull out a medium frying pan, a small bowl & a sieve

Get the rice on

Remove the steak from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season with salt and pepper
Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain and return to the pan

Prep & make the chimichurri

Finely chop the parsley. Deseed and finely dice the half chilli. Cut the onion and pepper into 3cm chunks. Halve the tomatoes
In the small bowl, combine the parsley, half the diced chilli (use less for less heat), the oregano, vinegar, half the garlic paste, 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper

Time for steak

Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook (as a guide: cook for 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, or 6-7 mins for well done). In the final 1 min, add half the tempero baiano and half the hot honey and turn to coat the steak. Quickly sear the edges, then leave to rest

Get sizzlin'

Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and pepper and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened and starting to char. Season with salt and pepper
Add the tomatoes, remaining tempero baiano (use less for less heat) and remaining garlic paste and cook for 2 mins. Stir in the remaining hot honey and a splash of water and cook for a further 1-2 mins, until reduced slightly

Last bits & plate up

Slice the steaks against the grain
Once cooked, stir the half pack of coconut through the rice
Share the rice and vegetables between plates, topped with the sliced steak. Drizzle with the chimichurri to finish
