Lean beef and loads of fibre-rich vegetables make a fill-you-up meal that’s a snap to get on the table – and clean up. Citrus delivers a tangy taste and additional heart-boosting antioxidants
420g dried black beans (soaked overnight, drained and cooked)
2 cups fresh or frozen (thawed) corn kernels
Directions
Into a small bowl, finely grate 1 teaspoon of peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons of juice from the orange; finely grate 1 teaspoon of peel and squeeze ¼ cup of juice from 2 of the limes. Stir in garlic, cumin and ⅛ teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
Place steak in a resealable bag. Add half of citrus mixture. Seal bag; turn to coat. Let it stand. Chop pepper, rinse and drain the cooked beans, and cut remaining limes in half.
Heat a 30cm heavy skillet on high. Coat steak lightly with nonstick cooking spray; add to pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare (60°C) or until cooked as desired. Transfer to a cutting board.
To the skillet, add red pepper and corn. Cook for 3 minutes or until tender, stirring. Add beans, remaining citrus mixture, ¼ cup of water and ⅛ teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until mostly dry, stirring. Slice steak. Serve with bean mixture and limes.
