Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a grater & a small bowl

Make the satay sauce

  • Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper
  • Halve the lime. Deseed and finely dice the chilli
  • In the small bowl, mix the peanut butter with 2 tbsp hot water (1 tbsp for 1 person) to get a smooth paste. Stir in the honey, tamari, juice from half the lime and half the chilli (or to taste). Mix well. Add a splash more water for a thinner consistency, if desired

Prep the veg

  • Cut the corn into 1cm pieces. Thinly slice the spring onions and pepper. Finely grate the ginger. Halve the sugar snaps

Cook the steaks

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat
  • Once the pan is 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)
  • Sear the edges of the steaks, then remove from the pan and leave to rest

Make the veggie fried rice

  • Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the corn, pepper, sugar snaps, ginger and half the spring onion and cook for 2 mins
  • Add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Slice the steaks against the grain
  • Share the veggie fried rice between bowls, topped with the steak. Sprinkle with the remaining spring onion, chilli (or to taste) and a squeeze of lime juice. Drizzle with the satay sauce
