Denver Steak Poke Bowl with Black Rice, Pickled Radish & Cucumber Salad

We are obsessed with this take on poke bowl! Juicy Sirloin steaks from British beef, sizzled to perfection. Tangy pickled radishes and a crunchy cucumber salad. Nutty black rice as a base. Finish it all off with a generous drizzle of the sweet 'n spicy dressing. Delish!

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 a large frying pan, a medium bowl, a small bowl, a sieve & a grater

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 30-35 mins, until cooked, then drain
  • Meanwhile, zest and halve the limes
  • Trim and thinly slice the radishes and place into the medium bowl with the juice from 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Leave to pickle

Make the sauce & finish the prep

  • Deseed and finely dice the chilli
  • In the small bowl, mix together the tamari, honey, juice from the remaining lime, half the ginger & garlic paste, 2 tsp olive oil and half the chilli (for those who'd like the heat)
  • Dice the cucumber into 1cm chunks. Thinly slice the spring onions

Get sizzlin'

  • Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook (as a guide: cook for 2-3 mins on each side for medium, or 3-4 mins for medium-well)
  • Quickly sear the edges of the steaks, then remove from the pan. Leave to rest. Rinse and dry the pan

Rice time

  • Reheat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the spring onion and remaining ginger & garlic paste and cook for 2-3 mins
  • Add the cooked rice and stir to combine
  • Remove from the heat, allow to cool to room temperature (optional), then mix in the lime zest and a pinch of salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Thinly slice the avocado for garnish. Slice the steaks against the grain
  • Serve into bowls, arranging the steaks, rice, cucumber, pickled radish, avocado and rocket into sections. Drizzle over the sauce
  • Garnish with the remaining diced chilli (for those who'd like the heat) and the sesame seeds
