Try a quick and easy spicy beef bowl with brown rice and tangy pickled cucumber for dinner. Ready in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients:
  • 400g beef fillet, frozen
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 6.00 gm sesame seeds
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) salt-reduced soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 36.80 gm vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 x 250g pkts microwave brown rice with quinoa, warmed
  • 200g tomato medley mix, halved
  • 1/4 red cabbage, cut into 4 wedges, steamed
  • Fresh mint sprigs, to serve
  • Salad leaves, to serve
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) rice wine vinegar
  • 9.60 gm pink Himalayan rock salt or flakes
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 4 Lebanese cucumbers, cut into noodles using a spiraliser
Instructions:
  • Slice the beef fillet thinly across the grain. Mix together garlic, chili, sesame seeds, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Add the beef and mix well to coat evenly. Let it marinate.
  • For the pickled cucumber, combine rice wine vinegar, salt, fennel seeds, chilli, peppercorns, and 60ml (1/4 cup) water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until salt dissolves. Let cool slightly, then pour over spiralised cucumber in a bowl. Let sit.
  • In a sizzling wok, caramelize the onion in shimmering vegetable oil for 3 minutes until tender. Toss in the beef marinated to perfection and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until it reaches perfect doneness. Plate and serve.
  • Present the succulent beef alongside fragrant brown rice, tangy pickled cucumber, juicy tomato, and crisp cabbage. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and vibrant salad leaves for a delightful and colorful finish.
