Prep time: 1 hrs and 0 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Serves: 4
Cooking Skill: Not Too Tricky
Step 1
To a food processor, add the 2-3 fresh chillies (de-seeded if you prefer less spice), oil, smoked paprika, oregano, honey and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Blitz to combine all of the ingredients and add to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the pork loin steaks into the bowl and coat with the marinade. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, if you have the time.
Step 3
When it’s time to eat, preheat a griddle pan over a high heat. Allow to get hot, reduce the heat, then place the loin steaks into the pan. I pan-fried two at a time so that they wouldn’t overlap – this helps to get the best sear.
Step 4
Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side depending on thickness, then set aside.
Step 5
Meanwhile, cook your rice according to packet instructions, adding the turmeric into the pan for colour. For an extra boost of flavour, you can also add a stock cube at this point. Add the diced peppers to the saucepan with the rice halfway through the cooking time.
Step 6
Steam the broccoli for around 5 minutes, then lightly season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Step 7
Assemble your peri peri style rice bowls with all of the elements and top with fresh coriander and a lemon wedge. Enjoy!
