Ingredients

Rice

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1¼ cups water

Tataki Beef Salad

  • 300g beef rump steaks (at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon fish sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sweet chilli sauce
  • ½ teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ Lebanese cucumber
  • ½ capsicum
  • 1-2 radishes
  • 50g mesclun
  • 2 tablespoons ponzu dressing

To Serve

  • Remaining ponzu dressing

Steps

  1. Preheat BBQ grill to high (if using). Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. While rice cooks, pat beef dry and place in a shallow bowl with soy sauce, vinegar, fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce and olive oil. Toss well to coat and set aside for at least 10 minutes to marinate.
  3. Cook beef in pan for 2-3 minutes each side for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered, to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  4. While beef rests, cut cucumber in half lengthways and slice thinly on an angle. Thinly slice capsicum and radishes. Place all in a large bowl with mesclun and set aside. Just before serving, toss through sliced beef, any resting juices and first measure of ponzu dressing. Season to taste.
  5. To serve, place ¾ cup rice on each plate and pile with tataki beef salad. Drizzle with remaining ponzu dressing.
