1 bag
baby spinach leaves
1 packet
beef strips
½ packet
tomato paste
1 packet
sour cream
(Contains: Milk; )
2 clove
garlic
½ tin

1 sachet
Aussie Spice Blend
olive oil
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
1 tbs
balsamic vinegar
1 drizzle
white wine vinegar
1.5 cup
water (for the rice)
½ wedge
water (for the onion)
1 tsp

¼ cup

• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
Little cooks: Older kids can help add the rice to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice onion. Drain sweetcorn (see ingredients). Roughly chop cucumber and baby spinach leaves. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add the balsamic vinegar, water (for the onion) and the brown sugar and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer.
• In a large bowl, combine beef strips, Aussie spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. • 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, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Add tomato paste (see ingredients) and water (for the beef) and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, then stir through sour cream (reserving a dollop for serving!). Season to taste.
• In a medium bowl, combine baby spinach, cucumber, sweetcorn and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season to taste. • Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with saucy spiced beef, cucumber salsa and caramelised onion. • Dollop with remaining sour cream to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Take the lead by combining the ingredients for the salsa!
