Cooking Instructions
- 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.
- Make the ginger and sesame sauce; in a bowl, mix the garlic, ginger, chilli (to taste), sesame seeds, vinegar and honey.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the steaks with the rice. Drizzle over the remaining sauce from the steak pan.
