To Cook

Rub the beef with oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a heavy-based frying pan and fry the beef for one minute on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside. Mix together all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl until well combined. Place the meat in the bowl and massage the marinade into it. Transfer the meat and marinade to a Ziploc bag and leave in the fridge to chill for at least two hours. Make the dressing by whisking together all the ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Arrange the salad on a large platter and spoon over the dressing. When the meat has been chilled, slice it very thinly and arrange on top of the salad.
