Stay Awake

1 Combine miso paste with a little hot water and canola oil. Mix well. Coat steaks in miso mixture and set aside to marinate (or leave in fridge overnight).

2 Combine salad vegetables in a large bowl. Combine dressing ingredients in another bowl and mix well to combine, stirring until sugar dissolves.

3 Heat a heavy-based pan with a little oil spray over a high heat. Cook steaks to your liking — about 2 minutes each side for medium-rare. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.

4 Arrange salad on serving plates. Spoon dressing over. Plate thinly sliced beef alongside salad. Spoon pan juices over top. Serve rice on the side garnished with spring onions.
