Before you start

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a large bowl, a grater & a sieve

Get started

  • Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper
  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain. Return to the pan and set aside
  • Meanwhile, in the large bowl, mix together the harissa, honey and 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper and stir
  • Coarsely grate the carrots. Finely slice the onion. Trim and finely slice the cabbage. Dice the pepper into 1cm chunks

Sizzle the steaks

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook (as a guide: 2-3 mins on each side for medium, or 3-4 mins for medium-well)
  • Quickly sear the edges of the steaks, then transfer to the harissa dressing bowl and leave to marinate

Build the rice salad

  • Reheat the frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion, carrot, cabbage and pepper and cook for 4-6 mins until softening
  • Roughly chop half the coriander, then pick the remaining whole leaves from the stalks and set aside for garnish
  • Add the paprika & oregano blend, tempero baiano, chopped coriander and cooked rice to the pan. Cook together for 1 min

Last bits

  • Remove the steaks from the dressing and thinly slice against the grain
  • Pour half the dressing into the rice and mix well to combine. Stir the chilli paste and 1 tbsp water into the remaining dressing

Plate up

  • Serve the rice salad onto plates, topped with the sliced steaks
  • Drizzle over the remaining dressing and garnish with the whole coriander leaves
