One-tray Mexican steak & beans
Shake up steak night with a cowboy classic given a glow-up! Bavette steak, peppers and onions get a gentle grilling with our Mexican spice mix, then borlotti beans and a saucy mix of tamari, apple cider vinegar and passata – lightly spiced with cinnamon – join the party. A fancy flourish of chives and pea shoots elevate everything.

Before you start
- 1x baking dish
Trim, slice & chop

Get grilling!

- Spritz with cooking spray, lightly season and grill for 8 mins, until well browned.
Mix it up
- Add the remaining Mexican spice, the beans and their water, the passata, vinegar, tamari and cinnamon.
- Stir well and grill for 5 mins, until the steak is cooked and the sauce has reduced slightly.
Finish & serve
