Ingredients

  • 1/2 beef fillet (approx 500-600g)
  • 3 tbsp Herbie’s Crusting Mix
  • rice:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 200g (1 cup) long grain rice
  • 1 tsp Herbie’s Green Chilli Powder
  • 500ml (2 cups) water
  • 1/2 bunch fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • 2 portions of frozen spinach

Instructions

  1. Press crusting mix around the fillet and leave covered at room temperature (this helps with cooking) while preparing rice.
  2. Saute onion in olive oil for 3-4 minutes until soft, then add garlic for 1 minute. Stir in rice and chilli powder until well coated, then add water, cover with a lid and reduce to a simmer.
  3. Stir occasionally until cooked and liquid absorbed (about 15 minutes). Stir through coriander and spinach and season to taste.
  4. Heat a barbecue or griddle to medium-high then sear beef for 4 minutes each side for medium rare (will also depend on thickness). Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Omit the green chilli powder if making the rice for kids
