Flash-Fried Steak with White Bean Mash

1. 1

   First get on with the beans: Put the 1/4 cup of olive oil in a saucepan, mince in the garlic, add the lemon zest, and warm through.

2. 2

   Drain the beans and rinse under a tap to get rid of the gloop, 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.

3. 3

   Add the rosemary sprig, if using, and season to taste; some beans come saltier than others.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, heat a teaspoon of oil in a large skillet and cook the steaks on high for 1 1/2 minutes a side.

5. 5

   Remove to warmed plates, sprinkling some salt and pepper, to taste, over them as you do so.

6. 6

   Squeeze the lemon juice into the hot pan and let it bubble up with the meaty oil, then pour over the steaks.

7. 7

   Serve immediately with the mash.
