Step 1

Since the beef is already cooked, it will not need to be left too long to marinade – 15 minutes or so.

When you're ready to cook the steaks, remove from the marinade and pat dry.
Step 5
Heat a ridged griddle pan (or heavy-bottomed frying pan) until smoking hot, then add the beef and cook until warmed through.

Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside to make the rest of the salad.

To serve, pile up the vegetables in a mound.

Roughly chop the basil and mint and scatter over the vegetables.
