Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook garlic, until fragrant 1 minute. • Stir in basmati rice, lemon pepper seasoning, the boiling water (11/2 cups for 2 people / 3 cups for 4 people) and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
• When rice has 10 minutes remaining, thinly slice cucumber into rounds. • In a medium bowl, combine Nan's special seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add beef strips, toss to combine.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine Kalamata olives, cucumber, kale & spinach, balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. • Divide lemony rice and kalamata olive salad between bowls. • Top with spiced beef and hummus. • Sprinkle over flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: Most enjoyed the seasoned beef and lemony rice, though some found the overall combination of flavours didn't come together as expected.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to pull together, making it a solid choice for busy weeknights.
- Suggestions: Several customers recommended adding cherry tomatoes or feta to the salad, and more almonds and hummus for extra richness. Those doubling the protein noted that extra seasoning sachets are needed to keep the flavour balanced.
- Portions: Some felt the beef portion was too small relative to the rice, and a few suggested doubling the protein for a more satisfying serve.
