Preparation
Cook the rice
- Heat the BBQ on high (or pan on medium-high), making sure to oil the grill first.
- Zest and juice the lime.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min.
- Add the lime zest and fluff the rice.
Grill the corn
- Meanwhile, toss the corn with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Add to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, turning occasionally, 7 to 9 min., until tender and beginning to brown.
- Transfer to a cutting board. Once cool enough, cut the corn kernels off the cob.
Grill the steaks
- Meanwhile, pat the steaks* dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- Add to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked as desired (to ensure a consistent temperature throughout, turn over at least twice).
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Make the salsa
- Meanwhile, small-dice the tomato.
- In a medium bowl, combine the tomato, corn, pepitas, lime juice, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Plate your dish
- Divide the avocado purée between your bowls and spread out in a circular motion.
- Top with the rice, steaks and salsa. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
