Method:

Dressing

Shake together in a screw top jar and leave in the fridge.

Salad

Season the steaks with Chilli & Garlic Seasoning, drizzle and turn in olive oil.

Leave at room temperature for 20 - 30 minutes (the Chef's term for this is 'tempering the meat', it ensures flavour absorbance and even cooking.)

Pan-fry the steaks in a ribbed griddle pan over high heat to medium rare.

Remove the steaks to a wooden board and cover with foil, shiny side towards the meat. Leave to stand for 5 - 10 minutes in order for the juices to settle.

Slice the meat against the grain into thin slices. Scrape the sliced steak (and any juices) into a mixing bowl. Toss with the dressing and sliced spring onions.

Add a little olive oil to a small pan and flash-fry the cherry tomatoes until bright red and beginning to burst. Season with Chilli & Garlic Seasoning.

Line a large plate with torn rocket and mint leaves.

Top with dressed meat mixture, cherry tomatoes and toasted nuts.
