Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Heat a frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on a high heat. Add the steak, season with sea salt and cook until golden brown (as a guide: 2-3 mins on each side for medium-rare or 4-5 mins on each side for well-done). Scatter over the cumin, then transfer to a lined baking tray to finish in the oven for 8 mins. Leave to rest.
- Finely slice the onion. Deseed the pepper and thinly slice. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Heat the pan used for the beef with 1/2 tbsp oil on a medium heat. Cook the onion, pepper and garlic for 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Meanwhile, remove the thyme leaves from their stalks and finely chop. Drain the beans, add to the pan, then add the honey, chipotle, thyme, passata and 50ml water. Simmer for 6-8 mins, until the sauce reduces to coat the beans.
- Heat another medium frying pan on a medium-high heat. Drain the sweetcorn and add to the pan. Cook for 3-4 mins, tossing once, until slightly charred.
- Slice the steak and serve atop the smoky beans, with the sweetcorn and salad leaves on the side.
