  1. 1

    Sear the beef in a splash of oil over high heat for 1–2 minutes until browned. Tip onto a plate.

    Fry the onion over a medium heat for 4 minutes, then add the carrot and cumin and cook for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the rice and stock, cover and simmer for 14–15 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid absorbed.

  4. 4

    Scatter the beef over the rice, cover, take off the heat and leave for 2 minutes to warm through. Season and serve.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 75 g beef rump steak. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.
