Tender Barbecued Steaks on Toasty Rice
Preparation time: Serves 2
500g sirloin steak, room temperature, divided into 2 equal portions
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons mirin
1 thumb ginger, sliced into thin sticks
1 clove garlic, sliced into thin sticks
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Sea salt and Black pepper
Toasty Rice
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 capsicum, sliced (red’s nice)
200g snow peas, roughly chopped
1 packet (250g) precooked or leftover rice (we used Uncle Ben’s Brown Rice)
Method:
Heat barbecue on medium-high.
Mix soy sauce, tomato paste, mirin, ginger and garlic in a bowl, and, using your hands, rub mixture well into the steaks. Marinade for an hour or overnight.
Drizzle a little sesame oil on the grill, and sear steaks for 3-4 minutes each side, turning once only. Remove from pan and rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
In a frypan, drizzle a little more sesame oil, and saute onions for 5 minutes until tender. Add capsicum and chopped snow peas, and toss for a couple of minutes.
Add the Rice, mix to combine and serve with steaks and a green salad if required.
