Rare beef gets a run for its money with a hot soy dressing that turns it into a warm salad in an instant.
Method
Heat a cast-iron grill pan or frypan, until hot. Cut the spring onions and chilli into fine matchsticks. Rub the steaks with olive oil, sea salt and lots of pepper. Cook on one side until well-marked, then turn and cook to your liking. Rest for five minutes, then thickly slice. To serve, spread the leaves and steak on four dinner plates. Heat the soy, oyster sauce, honey and sesame oil in a pan, stirring and spoon over the steak. Scatter with spring onions, chilli and cashews and serve.
