Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Pull out 2 medium frying pans, a grater & a sieve
Prep the veg
- Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper
- Deseed and finely dice the chilli. Cut the pak choi lengthways into 6 wedges. Roughly chop the coriander. Finely grate the garlic and ginger. Rinse the spinach
Get sizzlin'
- Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook (as a guide: cook 2-3 mins on each side for medium or 3-4 mins on each side for medium-well)
- Quickly seal the edges of the steaks, then remove from the pan and leave to rest
Meanwhile, char the pak choi
- Heat the other medium frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pak choi wedges and cook for 2-3 mins, until charred and starting to soften. Remove from the pan
Make the hoisin fried rice
- Reheat the empty pak choi pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ginger, garlic and a pinch of chilli (or to taste). Cook for 1 min
- Add the rice, tamari and hoisin. Stir to combine, then add the softened pak choi and the spinach. Cook for 3-4 mins, until the spinach is wilted
- Stir in half the coriander and half the sesame seeds
Plate up
- Thinly slice the steaks against the grain
- Share the hoisin fried rice between bowls, topped with the steak, a pinch of chilli (for those who'd like it) and the remaining coriander and sesame seeds
