Notes

Make sure to crush the juniper berries lightly before adding them to the marinade; this quick step is vital for releasing their aromatic, savory oils into the beef.
For maximum freshness, serve the finished dish with a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a final wedge of lime squeezed right over the seared beef.
Store leftover coconut rice and beef separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator, and consume within three days due to the richness of the coconut milk base.
Reheat the creamy coconut rice gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or extra coconut milk to restore its texture, and quickly sear the beef leftovers in a hot skillet to avoid drying them out.
