Background

This potato and black bean salad with vegan steak is a quick and easy meal for midweek supper. The potatoes can be cooked ahead or you can use leftover boiled potatoes - then it takes max. 15 minutes to make the dish! Vegan or plant-based steak is widely available now at supermarkets. Serve it with a crispy salad on the side. (For non-vegans, you can use beef steak, pork chops or sausages - cooked in a different pan).

500g new potatoes
1 leek or onion
2 cloves of garlic

Juice of ½ lime
1 grilled/roasted bell pepper, sliced
1 tin black beans
2 Tbsp chopped coriander leaves

Instructions

Cook the potatoes in lightly salted water, then drain and set aside. You can chill them for up to 3 days if you prefer or carry on with the recipe immediately.
Finely slice the leek an garlic. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks, if needed.
Heat some oil in large, shallow pan and sauté the leek for 5 minutes then add the garlic and stir for a minute or so.
Add the spices and potatoes, stir to coat them well, then add the stock and lime juice. Bring to a simmer, then add the drained beans, cook for a couple of minutes to warm through, then add the roasted pepper and coriander leaves. Put a lid on, turn off the heat and rest.
Meanwhile, lightly oil a griddle pan and cook the steaks for a couple of minutes on each side, following the instructions on the packaging.
