Steak with Crying Tiger Sauce and Sesame Baby Gem Salad

April 14

Grilled steak, spiky thai inspired dipping sauce and a fresh crunchy salad, a simple but really impressive supper that takes minutes to prepare. You can make your own toasted rice powder which is as straightforward as it sounds. Simply roast a handful of sticky or other short grain rice or toast in a pan and then grind to a powder. It can also be left out if needed.
