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.

  1. Make the corn salsa; drain the sweetcorn. Thinly slice the spring onion and lettuce. Halve the tomatoes. Finely chop the chives. Zest and quarter the lime. In a bowl, combine the prepped veg with the lime zest, three-quarters of the chopped chives, 1/2 tbsp oil and the juice from 1 lime wedge. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the yoghurt with the remaining chives and juice from 1 lime wedge. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Make the marinade; combine the cumin and chipotle paste in a small bowl. Rub the steaks with the marinade and season with sea salt. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Cook the steaks (as a guide: 3-4 mins each side for medium-rare, or 5-6 mins for well-done). Remove and leave to rest, before thinly slicing against the grain.
  4. Meanwhile, reheat the pan on medium-high heat. Add the rice and break it up with a spoon. Add a splash of water and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot.
  5. Spoon the rice into bowls and layer with the corn salsa and sliced steak. Garnish with the chive yoghurt, pumpkin seeds and remaining lime wedges.
