  1. Season the sirloin steaks generously and allow them to come to room temperature.
  2. Rinse the jasmine rice until the water runs clear, then boil in a pan of water for 10 minutes.
  3. Prepare the vegetable pickle by finely slicing the carrot, cucumber and radishes. Add to a bowl with the rice vinegar, sugar and salt, then set aside.
  4. Toast 1 tablespoon of jasmine rice in a dry pan until golden, then grind using a pestle and mortar or blender. Add to a bowl with the shallot, chilli, garlic, coriander, lime juice, fish sauce and brown sugar. Stir well and set aside.
  5. Fry the steaks in a little oil to your liking (around 3–4 minutes per side for medium). Remove from the pan and rest on a plate.
  6. Drain the rice, return it to the pan off the heat, cover with a lid and steam for 5 minutes.
  7. Char the broccoli in a hot pan, then toss with sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
  8. Slice the rested steaks and spoon over the crying tiger dressing. Serve alongside the rice, pickled vegetables and sesame broccoli.
