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

  • Pull out a large frying pan & 2 small bowls

Pickle the onion

  • Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper
  • Finely slice the onion. Halve the lime
  • Add half the onion and the juice from half the lime to a small bowl with a pinch of salt. Toss to coat, then set aside to pickle

Get sizzlin'

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the venison and cook (as a guide: 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, or 5-6 mins for well done). Quickly sear the edges of the steaks
  • Remove the venison from the pan, cover with foil and set aside to rest

Prep the dressing

  • Meanwhile, in the other small bowl, combine the miso, honey, tamari, ginger & garlic paste and the juice from the remaining lime. Season with salt and pepper
  • Trim and thinly slice the pak choi. Trim the broccoli and cut into thirds

Rice time

  • Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pak choi, broccoli and remaining onion and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened
  • Add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon. Mix in three-quarters of the dressing and a splash of water
  • Toss to coat and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Thinly slice the steaks against the grain
  • Share the veggie rice between bowls, topped with the steaks. Drizzle over the remaining dressing
  • Scatter over the pickled onion and sprinkle with the chilli flakes (for those who'd like the heat)
