Then coat each side of the steak with the spice mix ..set aside.
Place two cups of red rice in 4 cups of water and simmer or steam till tender.
Place florets of a large broccoli head in a steamer  and cook till tender crisp.
When rice is nearing cooked , place steaks in a very hot pan  and cook for 3 minutes each side .
When rice is cooked and all moisture has been absorbed add the dessert spoon of spices you set aside earlier , stir to mix.
