Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons, divided
  • Most of 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 3 (14-ounce) cans white beans
  • 4 thin-cut sirloin or entrecote steaks, about 5 ounces each
  • Salt

Method

  • First get on with the beans: put the 1/4 cup of olive oil in a saucepan add in the garlic and the lemon zest and warm through.
  • Drain the beans and rinse under tap water, then add to the pan and warm through, stirring and squishing with a wide, flat spoon so that the beans go into a nubbly mush.
  • Season, to taste.
  • Some beans are saltier than others.
  • Meanwhile, heat a teaspoon of oil in a large frying pan or skillet and cook the steaks on high for about 1 1/2 minutes a side and remove to warmed plates, sprinkling some salt, to taste, over them as you do so.
  • Squeeze the lemon juice into the hot pan and let it bubble up with the meaty oil, then pour over the steaks.
  • Serve immediately with the mash.
