Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1 large saucepan
- 1 large non stick frying pan
- 2 medium mixing bowls
Marinade the steak
- Peel the brown onions and thinly slice into rings.
- On a separate board, trim any visible fat from the steaks then thinly slice against the grain.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the onion rings and steak. Squeeze over the juice of the lemon (to taste) and sprinkle in half the tamari. Leave to marinade.
Cook the rice
- Meanwhile, cook the rice in boiling water for 10-12 mins, then drain. Mix in the ginger & garlic paste.
Mix a spicy dressing
- Dice the cucumber into ½cm chunks, and peel and finely dice the red onion. Finely dice the chillies (deseed for less heat).
- In a bowl, combine the cucumber, onion and chillies (to taste) with the remaining tamari, the vinegar and 50ml water (100ml for 4 portions).
Sizzle the steak
- Trim and thinly slice the pak choi.
- Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Cook the steak and onion rings for 4-5 mins, turning occasionally and adding the pak choi for the final min.
Bring everything together
- To serve, spoon the steak and onions over the rice, and drizzle over the dressing.
