Step 1
In a small bowl combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, garlic, fish sauce and hot pepper flakes.
Reserve 3 tbsp (45 mL) of marinade and add remaining marinade to steaks.
Let soak for at least 20 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile in a large bowl, toss the mushrooms with reserved marinade and place on one side of a large sheet of heavy duty foil.
Fold over the foil and pinch edges to seal and make a secure packet.
Step 3
In a large bowl, stir the oil with the curry paste, salt and pepper; toss with green beans.
Transfer beans to one side of another piece of heavy duty foil, fold and seal edges to make a second packet.
Step 4
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Grill bean and mushroom packets for 8 minutes, turning once.
Remove from the grill and reserve closed packets while cooking the steaks.
Step 5
Remove steaks from marinade and season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, or until cooked to preferred doneness.
Remove steaks from grill and rest for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Meanwhile, in a large bowl add rice, green onions and coriander.
Open the mushrooms and toss with rice mixture.
Carefully open the green beans; sprinkle with lime zest.
Transfer rice and green beans to serving plates; sprinkle with coconut.
Serve with steaks; garnish with lime wedges.
