Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill and boil your kettle. Rinse the rice with cold water and tip it into a small pan. Add 300ml boiling water and a pinch of salt. Cover, bring to the boil, then turn the heat right down. Gently cook for 6-8 mins till all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Take the pan off the heat and let it sit, lid on, for 5 mins to finish cooking the rice. It will stay warm while you finish the rest of the dish.

  • 2.

    Pop the beef strips into a bowl and add ½-1 tbsp chilli spice blend (it's hot, so use as much or as little as you prefer) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to coat the beef, then set aside to marinate.

  • 3.

    Peel and thinly slice the red onions. Peel and thinly slice the garlic. Halve the peppers, scoop out the seeds and pith, and thinly slice them.

  • 4.

    Warm 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan or wok on a high heat. Add the beef and fry for 2-3 mins, turning once or twice, till browned. Scoop the beef strips out onto a plate and set aside.

  • 5.

    Pop the pan back on the heat and add the peppers, onions and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir fry for 5-6 mins, till tender and slightly caramelised at the edges. Add the beef back to the pan and warm through for 30 secs. Squeeze in a little lemon juice.

  • 6.

    Divide the rice between 2 warm plates and top with the beef stir-fry. Add a handful of rocket to each plate and serve with the yogurt on the side.
