Ingredients
- ½ tsp caster sugar
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 midi cucumber
- 2 tbsp Korean-style BBQ Marinade & Dip
- 2 x 135g packs British venison haunch steak
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 250g pouch basmati rice
- 4 tbsp kimchi
Method
In a bowl, stir the sugar and vinegar together with a pinch of salt until dissolved. Finely slice the cucumber, add to the vinegar mix, then set aside. Put the barbecue marinade into a separate bowl, add the venison and mix well to coat.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan on medium-high and cook the steaks for 6-8 minutes, turning regularly, until browned all over and cooked to your liking. Rest the meat for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain. Heat the rice according to pack instructions, then divide between 2 serving bowls. Serve with the steak, pickled cucumber, kimchi and pour any resting juices over the meat.
Cook’s tip
The 'quick pickle' method here works with all kinds of veg – radishes, red onions, carrots and more.
