Method
Step 1
Place steak on a large plate. Rub both sides with combined spice mix and oil. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add steak and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a clean plate. Rest 15 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat rice and quinoa blend in microwave as directed on packet. Transfer to a bowl. Cool.
Step 3
Rinse corn cobs under cold water. Cut kernels from cob.
Step 4
Place broccoli in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand 2 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water. Drain again.
Step 5
To make dressing, whisk all ingredients in a medium jug with a fork to combine.
Step 6
To serve, slice steak thinly. Arrange rice and quinoa, steak, corn, broccoli, cabbage and carrot in separate sections between 4 shallow serving bowls. Top each serving with an avocado half. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with pecans.
Tips
- Brown rice and quinoa blend can be replaced with 1½ cups of any cooked wholegrain eg. quinoa, barley or freekah.
- Replace fresh corn with a 400 g can no added salt corn kernels.
- We used 2 x small avocados weighing about 140 g each. If preferred, replace with 1 large avocado, cut into quarters and allow 1 quarter per serve.
