Cooking Steps

1

Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water (for the rice) and the salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

2

While the rice is cooking, drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients). Finely chop the cucumber and tomato.

3

Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the sweetcorn and cook until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and allow to cool slightly. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.

4

Add the cucumber, tomato, white wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil to the charred corn. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.

5

SPICY! The spice blend is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat. When the rice has 5 minutes cook time remaining, return the frying pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the remaining garlic and the tomato paste (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the pulled beef, All-American spice blend and water (for the beef), stir, then simmer until heated through, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Add a splash more water if the beef mixture looks too thick.

6

Roughly chop the coriander. Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the American pulled beef and shredded Cheddar cheese. Serve with the charred corn salsa. Garnish with the coriander.
