Method

1For the marinade, place all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
-
2Place the steaks in a non-reactive dish. Drizzle over half the marinade. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for several hours. Keep the reserved marinade to dress the salad.

3For the pickled goji berries, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside for 30 minutes to macerate.
-
4To make the dressing, drain the cashew nuts and transfer to a processor. Add the remaining dressing ingredients and blend until completely smooth.
-
5Bring the marinated steaks to room temperature before grilling. Heat a Le Creuset 30cm Cast Iron Signature Shallow Grill until hot. Sear the steaks on medium-high for 3-4 minutes. Turn and cook for a further 3 minutes, or until done to your liking. Rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing.

6Place all the salad ingredients, except the sesame seeds, in a large bowl. Add the reserved marinade and toss lightly to coat. Transfer the salad to a serving plate. Arrange the sliced steak on the salad. Scatter with sesame seeds and serve the cashew dressing alongside.
