This crispy rice beef salad is the perfect balance of texture and flavour, with golden, crispy rice paired with a fresh salad, tender beef and a delicious dressing.
Combine rice and stock in a medium to large saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook using the absorption method. Cook rice until tender, then remove from heat, cover and rest until all the liquid is absorbed.
Step 2
Once cooled place the cooked rice on a baking tray, flatten into a layer and chill until required.
Step 3
Pre heat oven to 180°C, drizzle over oil and rub into the rice. Place in the oven and cook, turning the rice regularly to ensure the rice dries out and all the rice becomes crispy. This should take around 40 min. Set aside while you prepare the salad.
Step 4
Heat a pan or char grill. Rub olive oil over steaks and cook for 5-6 min on each side or until done to your liking. Let rest.
Step 5
Arrange salad ingredients (red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, mint & coriander) in a bowl. Add dressing ingredients (lime or lemon juice, fish sauce & white sugar) into a jar and shake well.
Step 6
Slice steak, place on top of salad and then top with crispy rice and a drizzle of dressing.
