Step 1 Heat a griddle pan or a barbecue grill to hot. Cook the beef in one piece so it's seared nicely all over – turn it to brown all sides. Cook to your liking – for rare it will only take around 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness. Set the meat aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 2 Combine all the salad ingredients on a large platter or individual plates.

Step 3 Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients and mixing well until the sugar dissolves. Taste and adjust; this is a very personal thing – some people like it sweeter, some hotter.

Step 4 Slice the beef into thin slices. Arrange these on top of the salad, and drizzle the dressing over the top.
