Method
step 1
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 mins until just tender. Drain, rinse under cold water and set aside.
step 2
Brush the steaks and courgettes lightly with olive oil and season well. Heat a griddle pan or barbecue over a high heat. Cook the courgettes for 3-4 mins each side until charred, then set aside. Grill the steaks for 2-3 mins each side (or to your liking), then rest for 5 mins before slicing.
step 3
Whisk 1 tbsp olive oil with the vinegar and mustard in a large bowl with some seasoning. Add the green beans, courgettes, cannellini beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion and most of the herbs. Toss gently to coat.
step 4
Slice the steak and lay over the salad, then drizzle over any resting juices. Serve warm or at room temperature with the reserved herbs scattered over.
