Cooking Instructions
- Bring a saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Roughly chop the sweet potato into 2cm chunks (peel optional), then add to the saucepan. Simmer for 12-14 mins until soft, then drain and return to the pan. Drain and rinse the beans, add them to the pan and toss in the Mexican spice to combine. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa; thinly slice the spring onions. Finely chop the coriander. Halve the lime. Quarter the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes, spring onions, coriander and the juice from half the lime to a mixing bowl. Season with sea salt to taste.
- Heat a frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Season the steaks with sea salt and black pepper. Once the pan is hot, add the steaks and cook (as a guide: cook for 2-3 mins on each side for medium, or 3-4 mins for medium-well). Quickly seal the edges of the steak, then remove from the pan. Leave to rest, then slice against the grain.
- Reheat the frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Crack in the eggs and cook for 2-3 mins, until the white has set and the yolk is runny. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Serve the Mexican spiced beans and sweet potato on plates, topped with the steak, fried egg & salsa.
