  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan. Add the garlic and sizzle for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cloves and simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened. Fish out the cloves then add the beans with a splash of water and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
  2. Heat a frying pan until it's smoking hot. Season the steaks well then sear for 1 minute on each side. Add the balsamic to the pan and cook for another 30 seconds on each side. Rest for 3-4 minutes. Pile up the beans and sauce on two plates. Thickly slice the steak and put on top of the beans.

    Loved it! And it's one of my husband's favorite dishes. The garlic makes all the difference in this recipe.

    This is a beautiful but very simple and quick dish to make. The balsamic on the steaks is wonderful. Definitely a favourite

    Don't do what I did and forget the balsamic ... it wasn't the same drizzled on afterwards! A big hit with Mr Cookerybook, all the same. I'll be making it again... more carefully next time.

    Gorgeous! Used fillet steaks and bashed them to make them thinner so they'd cook in time. Perfect with the balsamic. Added plenty of seasoning to the tomatoes along with a splash of worcester sauce and pinch of sugar. Green beans took about 10 mins to cook this way though. Served with crushed new potatoes mixed with buttery leeks...will definitely make this one again.

    loved the balsamic steaks but other half and I hated the garlic/tomato/grean beans. Will cook steak like this again with the balsamic but no way the beans.
