- Prep & cook riceWhen beef has 30 minutes remaining, cook rice. Bring a kettle to the boil. Grate carrot. Melt butter in a pot on medium-high heat. Cook carrot and seeds for about 3 minutes, until softened. Add rice and cook for 1 additional minute. Add boiling water measure and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turnoff heat and steam, covered, for 5 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.

- TipFor extra flavoursome beef, brown it before adding to dish. Heat oil in a frypan on high and cook beef for 3-4 mins, turning occasionally until browned. Get your pan smoking hot before cooking to ensure your beef gets dark brown and caramelised.
