2.Heat a char-grill pan over medium-high heat. Char-grill steaks, turning occasionally, until browned (6-8 minutes), transfer to oven and roast until cooked to your liking (2-3 minutes for medium-rare). Set aside to rest (5 minutes).

3.Meanwhile, for caramelised beans and shallot, heat oil and garlic in a frying pan over medium heat until fragrant (1 minute). Add beans and shallot, stir until lightly browned (4-5 minutes), add lemon juice and chilli, season to taste and stir until beans are just tender (3-5 minutes). Add vinegar and thyme and stir until fragrant (1 minute). Serve with sirloin steaks.
