Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 portion recipe.

1.

Cut the green chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Tip: Keep the seeds in if you like it spicy!

Combine the juice of the orange[s] with the juice of 1/2 [1] lime, chopped green chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), ground cumin and soy sauce and give everything a good mix up – this is your carne asada marinade

Step 1
2.

Add the rump steaks to the carne asada marinade and set aside until later

Tip: Turn the steaks every few minutes to get them evenly coated!

Step 2
3.

Add the basmati rice and 300ml [600ml] cold water to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving

Step 3
4.

Whilst the rice is cooking, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once very hot, add the marinated steaks (save the extra marinade for later!) to the pan

For rare, cook for 2 min max on each side

For medium-rare, cook for 2-3 min on each side

For medium, cook for 3-4 min on each side

Step 4
5.

Cut the avocado[s] in half lengthways, around the stone[s]

Remove the stone[s] using a teaspoon

Scoop the avocado out of the skin[s] using a spoon and slice it finely, lengthways and season with a pinch of salt

Chop the coriander finely, including the stalks

Step 5
6.

Once the steaks are done, transfer them to a plate and set them aside to rest

Return the pan to a medium heat, add the remaining marinade and cook for 2-3 min or until thickened slightly – this is your carne asada sauce

Step 6
7.

Slice the rested steaks finely – this is your carne asada steak

Step 7
8.

Cut the remaining lime into wedges

Serve the carne asada steak over the cooked rice and drizzle with the carne asada sauce

Top with the pickled red cabbage, sliced avocado, crumble over the feta cheese and garnish with the chopped coriander and a wedge of lime

Enjoy!
