A superb summer supper – sirloin steak is marinated in super spicy blend of chilli, lime and soy sauce and accompanied by turmeric rice infused with lemongrass.
This would be great cooked on the bbq but works equally as well in a super hot wok.

Method:
1) Combine all of the ingredients for the beef (excluding the steak) in a spice blender and process until smooth. Combine the marinade with the sliced beef and allow to marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
2) Make the rice by placing the rice in a medium saucepan with the coconut milk, water, turmeric, lemongrass, ginger and salt. Bring to the boil and stir. Cover and cook over a low heat for 12 minutes. Remove from the heat, place a thin tea-towel over the pan and cover with the lid and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
3) Meanwhile cook the steak in a little vegetable oil in a large wok over a high heat for around 2 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Allow to rest for at least 10 minutes.
4) Remove the lid and towel from the rice and fluff well with a fork. Serve with the beef and a little extra lime zest.
