  1. Dice the pepper into 1cm squares. Finely chop or grate the garlic and ginger. Finely dice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Rinse the spinach.
  2. Make the ginger and sesame sauce; in a bowl, mix the garlic, ginger, chilli (to taste), sesame seeds, vinegar and honey.
  3. Heat a frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Season the steaks with sea salt. Add the steaks and cook (as a guide: 2-3 mins on each side for medium-rare, or 4-5 mins for well-done). Pour the ginger and sesame sauce over the steaks in the final minute of cooking. Remove the steaks and leave to rest, then thinly slice against the grain.
  4. Meanwhile, heat another medium frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the diced pepper and cook for 3-5 mins. Add the rice, spinach and a splash of water. Break the rice up with a wooden spoon and cook for a further 2-3 mins, until the spinach has wilted and the rice is piping hot. Lightly season with sea salt and black pepper.
  5. Serve the steaks with the rice. Drizzle over the remaining sauce from the steak pan.
