Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1x non-stick saucepan
- 1x saucepan
- 1x small bowl
Prep & soften the veg
- Peel and finely dice the onions, deseed the peppers and dice into 2cm squares, and peel and crush the garlic.
- On a separate board, trim any visible fat from the steaks, then thinly slice against the grain.
- Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Cook the steak for 3-4 mins, turning occasionally, until browned all over, then transfer to a plate.
Simmer the chilli
- Keep the pan over a medium-high heat. Tip in three-quarters of the onions, the peppers and the garlic and cook for 6-8 mins.
- Add the spice mix and tomato purée and and cook for 3-4 mins, stirring.
- Crumble in the stock, squeeze in the passata and pour in 200ml water (300ml for 4 portions), then stir well. Return the steak to the pan, lightly season and simmer for 8-10 mins until the sauce has slightly thickened.
Boil the rice
- Meanwhile, cook the rice in boiling water for 10-12 mins, then drain.
Itʼs salsa time!
- Zest the lime, roughly chop the coriander, and halve the tomatoes.
- In a small bowl, combine the zest, coriander and tomatoes. Squeeze in the juice from half the lime (to taste) and tip in the remaining onion.
Finish & serve
- Cut the unsqueezed lime half into wedges.
- Spoon the chilli con steak and tomato salsa over the rice and add the lime wedges for squeezing.
