Cooking Steps

Microwave brown, red & wild rice until steaming, 90 seconds.
Transfer to a large bowl with a pinch of salt and allow to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato, cucumber and roasted almonds.
Pick mint leaves.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
When oil is hot, cook beef strips and Middle Eastern seasoning, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Remove from heat, the return all beef strips to the pan, add the honey, tossing to coat.

TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.

To the bowl with cooled rice, add mixed salad leaves, cucumber, tomato, a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Toss to combine and season to taste.
Divide wild rice salad between bowls. Top with Middle Eastern beef. Drizzle over garlic sauce and tear over mint leaves.
Garnish with roasted almonds to serve. Enjoy!
