Cooking Steps

Cook the beef
1
  • Season beef rump with salt and pepper. 
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
  • When oil is hot, cook beef for 3-4 minutes each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. 
  • Transfer to a plate to rest.  
Get prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato, cucumber and brown onion (see ingredients). 
  • Finely chop garlic. 
  • Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. 
  • Drain and rinse black beans. 
Cook the beans
3
  • While the beef is resting, wipe out the frying pan and return to medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. 
  • SPICY! This spice blend is hot! Add less if you’re sensitive to heat. Cook onion and black beans until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 
  • Remove pan from heat, then add a splash of water and gently crush the beans with a potato masher or fork.  

TIP: Add a splash of water if the beans look dry.  

Finish & serve
4
  • In a large bowl, combine lemon zest, tomato, cucumber and mixed salad leaves with a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Slice beef. 
  • Divide seared beef rump, Mexican black beans and zesty tomato-cucumber salad  between plates. 
  • Drizzle over light sour cream and serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The salad was a highlight for many, though the black beans divided opinion — some loved them, others found them unappealing.
  • Ease of prep: Most found the dish straightforward, but some felt the instructions lacked guidance on cook times for medium or well-done beef.
  • Suggestions: Use less of the Mexican Fiesta spice blend if you are sensitive to heat, as several found it quite spicy. Some customers added avocado and charred corn, which complemented the dish well.
  • Black beans: Cook the beans for the full 4–5 minutes and crush them gently with a fork to avoid an overly mushy texture.
