What you need

500g beef mince
300g rice
1 tin black beans
2 red pepper
200g sweetcorn
2 tbsp tomato puree
2 tsp mild chilli powder
700ml beef stock

150g Greek yogurt
1 tbsp olive oil

You'll also need

wide lidded frying pan, chopping board, knife, grater

Method

Step by step

Up to 8 clear steps

Step 1
Prep the vegetables
Deseed the red peppers and cut them into small chunks. Drain and rinse the black beans, then finely grate the lime zest and cut the lime in half.
6 min
Step 2
Brown the beef
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wide lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the beef mince and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned with no large pink patches left. Hold back extra salt and black pepper until the final taste check.
6 min
Step 3
Build the flavour base
Stir in the peppers, tomato puree, mild chilli powder, and lime zest. Cook for 3 minutes until the peppers start to soften and the tomato puree darkens slightly on the base of the pan.
3 min
Step 4
Simmer the rice
Stir in the rice, black beans, sweetcorn, and beef stock. Bring to a steady simmer, cover with a lid, then cook over a medium-low heat for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the stock has been absorbed.
15 min
Step 5
Rest and fluff
Turn off the heat and leave the covered pan to stand for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, check it is piping hot throughout, and squeeze over half the lime juice.
5 min
Step 6
Serve with lime yogurt
Mix the Greek yogurt with the remaining lime juice and a pinch of salt. Spoon the smoky beef, bean, and rice mixture into bowls, then add a spoonful of lime yogurt at the table. Taste once everything is assembled, then add a little salt and black pepper only if needed.
