Place the chicken and beef in separate shallow glass or ceramic dishes. Combine the vegetable oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin and oregano in a jug. Pour over the chicken and beef and turn to coat. Cover and place in fridge for 3 hours to marinate.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Place sweet potato, red capsicum and onion, in a single layer, on the lined tray. Spray with olive oil spray. Bake for 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add the beans and combine.

Meanwhile, remove chicken and beef from the fridge. Set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes. Preheat a barbecue flat plate on medium-high and a barbecue grill on high.

Drain beef and chicken, and discard the marinade. Add to the grill. Cook beef for 2-3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes each side or until cooked through. Transfer to separate plates. Cover with foil. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest. Thinly slice beef across the grain.

Combine the olive oil, green capsicum, extra red capsicum and extra onion in a large bowl. Add to the barbecue flat plate. Cook, turning occasionally, for 3-5 minutes or until tender.
