Method

step 1

To make the marinade, mix all the ingredients until the sugar dissolves, then pour over the steaks. Leave to marinate for no longer than 2 hrs or the meat will turn pappy. Meanwhile, fire up your barbecue coals and wait for them to turn ashen.
step 2

Mix all the dressing ingredients together. Toss the salad ingredients with half the dressing and set aside. When the coals are ashen, sear the steak for 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, then leave to rest for 5 mins. Carve the steaks into thin slices and fan out on the sides of the plates. Place a pile of salad on the other side of each plate and drizzle the remaining dressing over everything.
