Remove the steaks from the oven, then cover loosely with foil and set aside for 8 minutes to rest.

Step 6

For the chimichurri, place all ingredients in a small food processor. Whiz until combined and finely chopped. Season.

Step 7

Place lemon juice and remaining 1 tbs oil in a bowl. Season. Add mesclun leaves and toss to coat.

Step 8

Slice the steaks against the grain into 2cm-thick slices and arrange on a serving plate. Spread with chimichurri and serve with mesclun salad.
