• Finely chop garlic. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with water. Add brown rice and a generous pinch of salt. • Bring to the boil over high heat and cook, uncovered, until tender, 25-30 minutes. Drain rice and set aside. • Return the saucepan to medium heat with a dash of olive oil. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Return rice to the saucepan and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice onion. Roughly chop cucumber, tomato and baby spinach leaves. Pick and thinly slice mint leaves. • In a small bowl, combine mint and Greek-style yoghurt. Season to taste and set aside. • In a medium bowl, combine Mumbai spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add beef strips, season with salt and toss to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring regularly, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl • Wipe out the frying pan and return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook beef strips in batches, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, return all the beef to the pan, then add the honey, turning beef to coat. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Cooking meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
• Gently stir caramelised onion, cucumber, tomato, baby spinach and a drizzle of white wine vinegar through the brown rice. Season to taste. • Divide brown rice salad between bowls. Top with Mumbai spiced beef. • Spoon over mint yoghurt and garnish with crushed roasted cashews to serve. Enjoy!
