Ingredients

Basmati

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1½ cups water
  • 20g coconut thread

Curry

  • 300g beef rump steaks (at room temperature)
  • 1½ tsp rogan josh paste
  • ½ brown onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1½ tsp finely grated ginger
  • Remaining rogan josh paste
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • ½ cup beef stock
  • ½ bag baby spinach

Cucumber Yoghurt

  • ½ Lebanese cucumber
  • 75g yoghurt

To Serve

  • 1 Tbsp mint

Steps

  1. Combine rice, water, coconut and a pinch of salt in a small pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Pat beef dry, season, rub with first measure of rogan josh paste and set aside. Thinly slice onion, and grate carrot.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook beef for 3-4 minutes each side, depending on thickness, until medium. Set aside covered to rest. Wipe pan and return to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
  4. Add onion and carrot to pan and cook for about 4 minutes until onion is tender. Add ginger and remaining rogan josh paste and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes and stock and simmer for about 8 minutes until carrot is tender and curry has thickened. Stir through spinach and season to taste.
  5. While curry is cooking, finely dice cucumber, add to a small bowl along with yoghurt and mix to combine. Thinly slice beef, add back to pan along with any resting juices and stir to coat.
  6. To serve, spoon ¾ cup of cooked rice per person onto plates and top with curry, a dollop of cucumber yoghurt and sprinkle over mint.
