Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Lightly spray the lamb with oil and sprinkle with sumac. Cook the lamb for 3-4 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Reheat the pan over high heat. Add the cabbage, balsamic vinegar and ¼ cup (60ml) water and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until the cabbage is tender. Add the beans and cook for 2 minutes or until heated through.
