Ingredients

Rump steak, fat trimmed, sliced thin160 g
Weighed raw. The same piece weighed after cooking has lost water, so the protein per gram is higher and the total would come out about a quarter over.
Cooked white rice130 g
Cooked weight. About 50 g of dry rice becomes 130 g cooked.
Hummus40 g
Shop-bought. Reduced-fat versions are nearer 200 kcal.
Tomato80 g
Cucumber80 g
Gherkins40 g
Olive oil5 g
Ground cumin1 tsp
Smoked paprika1 tsp
Ground cinnamonA pinch
Garlic2 cloves, about 6 g
Lemon juiceA squeeze

Method

Toss the beef with the oil, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, crushed garlic and a pinch of salt.
Heat a frying pan until it smokes and fry the beef in one layer for about a minute a side, in two batches if it crowds. The edges should crisp.
Build the bowl: rice at the bottom, beef over it, then the chopped tomato, cucumber and gherkins, a spoon of hummus and a squeeze of lemon.

Worth knowing

The spice rub is doing what the rotisserie does in a shawarma shop. Slice the beef as thin as you can so there is more surface to crisp.
Hummus is 100 kcal for the 40 g here. A yogurt and garlic sauce for the same weight would be about 25.
