- When you're ready to cook the steaks, cook the rice according to the pack instructions and set aside.
- For the steaks, heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan over a medium-high heat, and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and taste. Set aside to rest while you fnish the rice.
- Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan and add the cooked rice, spring onions and soy sauce. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, add the spinach and cook for 30 seconds to wilt, then stir through the coriander. Thickly slice the steaks and pour over any juices. Serve the rice with the steaks and a super salad (see tip).
Top Tip for making Vietnamese Beef
If you can find them, swap the spinach for shredded betel leaves. For a super salad, we tossed carrots with chopped onion, chopped white cabbage in fresh lime juice, a drizzle of sesame oil, a pinch of sugar and 2tbsp rice vinegar, then added some chopped peanuts.
