Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Roughly chop tomato. Peel, then thinly slice shallot. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then shallots, tomato and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1-2 min. Add rice and half the Jerk Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until rice is coated, 1-2 min.
Add 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
While rice cooks, thinly slice green onions. Roughly chop cilantro. Peel mango, then cut mango and cucumber into 1/4-inch pieces. Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
Toss together cilantro, mango, cucumber, lime zest, lime juice, 1 tbsp oil and 1 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl), in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Pat beef dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then beef. Sprinkle over remaining Jerk Spice Blend. Cook, until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side.**
Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in the half the green onions and season with salt. Divide rice between plates. Top with Jerk-Spiced Beef and mango salsa. Sprinkle over remaining green onions. Squeeze over a lime wedge, if desired.
