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 large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out tongs or a slotted spoon, a sieve, a peeler, a medium bowl, a small bowl, a grater & a large frying pan

Get the broccoli & rice on

  • Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper
  • Trim the broccoli, then add to the saucepan and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked
  • Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and set aside
  • Add the rice and boil for 30-35 mins, until cooked, then drain

Make the pickled cucumber

  • Peel the cucumber into ribbons and place into the medium bowl with the rice wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Mix and leave to pickle
  • Coarsely grate the carrots. Thinly slice the spring onions

Make the BBQ sauce

  • In the small bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar, honey, tamari, tomato puree, shichimi togarashi (or to taste) and a splash of water

Get sizzlin'

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat
  • Once the pan is hot, add the steaks and cook (as a guide: 2-3 mins on each side for medium or 3-4 mins on each side for medium-well). Quickly sear the edges of the steaks
  • Turn off the heat and pour the BBQ sauce into the pan. Toss the steaks to coat, then remove and leave to rest

Plate up

  • Thinly slice the steaks against the grain
  • Serve the sliced steaks into bowls, with the cucumber, grated carrots, broccoli and rice alongside
  • Drizzle any remaining BBQ sauce from the pan over the steaks
  • Garnish with the spring onion and any remaining shichimi togarashi (or to taste)
