Salsa Macha Steak With Loaded Black Bean & Sweet Potato Mash

Before you start cooking, take your steak out of the fridge, open the packet and let it adjust to room temperature

Boil a kettle, then peel and chop your potato[es] into bite-sized pieces

Add the chopped potato to a pot of boiled water over a high heat and bring to the boil

Cook for 10-15 min or until fork-tender

Once done, drain, return them to the pot and cover to keep warm

Add a small knob of butter and a generous pinch of salt to the warmed potatoes and mash them until smooth

Tip: If the mash has cooled down, warm it through over a low heat, stirring constantly

Meanwhile, bash your pumpkin seeds in their bag with a rolling pin

Heat a large, dry wide-based pan over a medium heat

Once hot, add the bashed pumpkin seeds and black sesame seeds with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 min or until toasted and lightly golden

Tip: Watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn!

Reserve the pan

Cut your lime[s] in half

Combine the toasted pumpkin seeds, toasted black sesame seeds, soy sauce and chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in a small bowl

Add a squeeze of lime juice, a generous pinch of salt, 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil and a pinch of sugar

Give everything a good mix up – this is your DIY salsa macha

Trim, then chop your spring onion[s] finely

Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks

Drain and rinse your black beans

Heat the reserved pan over a high heat

Pat your steak[s] dry with kitchen paper, then drizzle them with a little vegetable oil and season with a pinch of salt on both sides

Once very hot, add the steak[s] to the pan

For rare, cook for 2-3 min max on each side; for medium-rare, cook for 3-4 min on each side; for medium, cook for 4-5 min on each side

Once the steaks are cooked, transfer to a plate to rest

While the steaks are resting, return the reserved pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil

Once hot, add the drained black beans with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 min or until your beans are warmed through

Slice the rested steak finely on a clean board
