with Tex-Mex Bean Salad and Smoky Aioli
When you’ve waited all winter to get barbecuing, you may as well do it in style, and this PLUS recipe totally fits that bill with its Tex-Mex flavour theme. Chargrilled sweet potato slices, a vibrant black bean salad and capsicum salad, plus indulgent dollops of smoky aioli mayo are perfect accompaniments for our beef rump steaks, the absolute stars of the show!
Prep ingredients
Preheat the barbecue grill to high (see Don't have a barbie?). Thinly slice the unpeeled sweet potatoes into rounds. Finely chop the capsicum. Thinly slice the spring onion. Drain and rinse half the black beans*. Put the sweet potato in a bowl, drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
Make bean salad
Combine half the barbecue seasoning, half the worcestershire sauce*, 2 tsp olive oil, 2 tsp balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp sugar in a large bowl. Add the capsicum, spring onion and beans and stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
Barbecue sweet potato
Reduce the barbecue grill to medium-high and cook the sweet potato on the grill for 6-7 mins each side until tender. Remove from the grill.
Barbecue steaks
Meanwhile, drizzle the steaks with 2 tsp olive oil, scatter with the remaining barbecue seasoning, season with salt and pepper and turn to coat. Cook the steaks on the barbecue grill for 2-3 mins each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the grill and rest for 3 mins.
Serve up
Divide the steaks, sweet potato and bean salad among plates, dollop with smoky aioli and enjoy!
Don't have a barbie?
No worries, you can use a chargrill pan or frypan over high heat – just adjust the cook times!
