Bertha’s Sirloin & Thai Green Curry
with black rice & green beans
A bed of perfectly cooked black rice cradles a rich curry, where coconut milk & curry paste unite, while vibrant patty pans & green beans add a crisp bite to the velvety sauce. Crowned with seared steak slices — crispy on the outside, succulent within. Each mouthful is an exquisite harmony of textures & flavours.

BLACK RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 30-35 minutes. Drain (if necessary) and cover.
CREAMY CURRY
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onions until soft and lightly golden, 3-4 minutes. Add the curry paste (to taste) and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and 50ml of water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes. Add the wedged patty pans and the halved green beans. Simmer until the veggies are cooked through but still al dente, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener, and season.
SEAR THE STEAK
While the curry is on the go, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the steak fat-side down until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the steak and sear until browned, 2-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
