Ingredients

  • 2 cups shelled fresh or frozen cranberry beans (12 ounces)
  • 4 thyme sprigs
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 packed cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 1/2 packed cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 pound oyster mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 pounds trimmed hanger steak
  • 2 Italian frying peppers, thickly sliced

Method

  • In a large saucepan, combine the beans with the thyme and 2 of the garlic cloves.
  • Cover with water and simmer over moderate heat until the beans are just tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Season with salt and black pepper and let cool slightly in the liquid.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro and the remaining garlic clove and pulse until chopped.
  • Add the lemon juice and 1/2 cup of the olive oil and puree until smooth.
  • Scrape the charmoula into a bowl.
  • Stir in the ground coriander and cumin and season with salt and black pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil until shimmering.
  • Add the oyster mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the beans; discard the thyme and garlic.
  • Add the beans and beef broth to the mushrooms and cook over moderate heat until the liquid has nearly evaporated, about 15 minutes.
  • Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat a grill pan.
  • Generously season the steak with salt and black pepper and brush with olive oil.
  • Brush the peppers with oil.
  • Grill the steak, turning occasionally, until lightly charred all over and medium-rare within, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Transfer the steak to a work surface and let rest.
  • Grill the sliced peppers until softened and lightly charred, about 5 minutes.
  • Slice the steak across the grain and serve with the cranberry beans, mushrooms, grilled peppers and charmoula.
