3. Rinse the black beans thoroughly and leave them to drain well.
4. Heat olive oil in a frying pan and sear the beef strips briefly over a high heat. Then take the meat out of the pan.
5. Add the asparagus to the pan and fry until tender-crisp. Then add the black beans, beef and the orange and pepper sauce and heat everything through briefly.
6. Serve the beef strips in orange and pepper sauce hot straight away, with a little more freshly crushed pepper if you like.

Swaps

Beef steak → chicken breast (similar protein content); black beans → chickpeas (also provide fibre and folate); orange → lemon (fresh acidity); olive oil → ghee (heat-stable; contains milk).

Allergens

Contains mustard; use less pepper for children, and in pregnancy it's generally suitable as long as the beef is cooked right through and the beans are thoroughly heated.
