Ingredients
4 sirloin steaks
For the steak marinade:
- 1 clove of garlic

- 1/2 red chilli
- 1 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon caster sugar
For the salad and dipping sauce:
- 1 medium carrot

- 1/2 teaspoon of caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 15g of coriander
To serve:
- 2 x microwave pouches of brown rice to serve

Method
- To prepare your ingredients, grate the garlic and ginger, finely dice ½ a red chilli. Slice the carrot and cucumber into matchsticks or peel into ribbons. And shred the coriander.
- Mix the marinade ingredients and pour over your steaks, set it aside to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- While the steaks are marinating, prepare your salad and dipping sauce. Toss the carrot and cucumber in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix the grated garlic, ginger, red chilli, soy sauce, lime juice & zest, caster sugar and coriander in a bowl. Stir 1 tablespoon of the sauce through the carrot and cucumber salad. Set the rest of the dipping sauce aside.
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil and cook the steaks to your liking. Cook for 2-3 minutes on either side for rare, 3-4 minutes on either side for medium-rare and 5-6 minutes on either side for well done. Please note, cooking time varies depending on the size and thickness of the steaks.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the pan and allow to rest on a chopping board for 5-10 minutes.
- Whilst the steaks are resting, cook your rice pouches according to the packet instructions.
- Slice the steaks into strips and serve alongside your rice, salad and drizzle over your dipping sauce.
