Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• To a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil.
• Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan 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! 

Prep & steam the corn
2

• Meanwhile, cut capsicum into bite-sized chunks. Cut corn cobs in half.
• Transfer corn cob to a large microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave corn on high, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Season with saltand pepper. 


Little cooks: Help microwave the corn with oven gloves and under adult supervision. Be careful, the plate can get hot!

Cook the capsicum & beef
3

• While the corn is steaming, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.

• Cook capsicum and beef mince, until browned and tender, 4-5 minutes. 

• Add Tex-Mex spice blend, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

• Add enchilada sauce and a splash of water and cook until combined and heated through, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

TIP: Add a splash more water if the sauce looks dry!

Finish & serve
4

• Stir the butter through the rice. Season to taste.

• Divide butter rice and cowboy beef between bowls. Serve with steamed corn. Enjoy!

FANCIFY ME: Roughly chop pickled jalapeños. Top beef with jalapeños and tear over coriander to garnish. Serve with light sour cream. Enjoy!
