Cooking Instructions:

1. TO COOK THE COCONUT RICE:

Empty the basmati rice into a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add 500 ml of warm water to the pot. Place pot on the stovetop and bring to the boil over a high heat. Once boiling put the lid on the pot and reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 mins. Remove from the heat and stand with the lid still on for a further 4 mins. Remove the lid and add the coconut cream. Fluff the rice with a fork and mix through the coconut cream.
2. TO PREPARE THE SALAD:

Cut the capsicums in half and remove all the seeds and dice into 1 cm cubes. Cut the telegraph cucumber in half lengthways and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Turnover and cut into ½ cm slices on the diagonal. Roughly chop the coriander leaves and stalk. Place capsicum, cucumber, and coriander into a serving bowl, with the pack of mesclun salad. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss before serving.
3. TO COOK THE BEEF SIRLOIN:

Remove the beef sirloin steaks from their packaging and pat dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the beef sirloin steaks and cook for 2-3 mins on each side for medium rare. Remove from the pan and place onto a plate to rest for 2-3 mins before slicing into 2cm pieces. Add the satay sauce to the pan and warm over a low heat for 30 secs.
TO SERVE:

Spoon the coconut rice onto plates then top with sliced steak. Spoon over satay sauce and serve with salad and a sprinkle of toasted peanuts and shaved coconut.
