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 medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
Pull out a medium frying pan, a large bowl, a small bowl, a sieve & a peeler

Get the rice on

Remove the steak 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 and rinse under cold water. Allow to drain

Prep the salad & make the dressing

Peel the carrots into ribbons. Slice the cucumber into 1cm half-moons. Halve the tomatoes
Add everything to the large bowl with the juice of half the lime and a pinch of salt
Finely dice half the chilli, thinly slice the remaining. Trim and halve the green beans. Pick the mint leaves from the stalks and roughly chop
In the small bowl, combine the tamari, tamarind, hot honey, the diced chilli (use less for less heat) and the juice from the remaining lime. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper

Sizzle the steak

Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook (as a guide: cook 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, or 6-7 mins for well-done). Quickly sear the edges of the steak then leave to rest

Time for beans

Reheat the frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beans and cook for 3-4 mins, until starting to char. Add 1 tbsp water (1/2 tbsp for 1 person) and steam for 2-3 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
When everything is ready, add the cooked rice, beans, the mint and three-quarters of the dressing to the large bowl and toss to combine. Season to taste

Finish & plate up

Slice the steak against the grain
Share the salad between plates, topped with the steak. Garnish with the peanuts and remaining chilli (or to taste). Drizzle over any remaining dressing
