Instructions
Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a shallow bowl, add steak and set aside at room temperature. Marinate for 15 minutes, flipping meat occasionally. You can marinate the steak for up to 8 hours, just chill and remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking.
In the meantime, thinly slice the red onion, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice the cucumber. Deseed and finely chop the chili pepper.
Combine the ingredients for the dressing. Stir well and taste, adjust as required in recipe notes. It should be a balance of tangy - sweet - salty with a hint of spiciness.
Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium high. Add steak and sear, undisturbed, for 3 minutes. Turn and sear for 3 minutes more. Transfer onto a plate, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for at least 3 minutes. Then cut into thin slices, against the grain.
In the meantime, assemble the salad. In a large bowl combine the ingredients, drizzle over most of the dressing and toss. Add steak and serve immediately, drizzled with the remaining dressing and some freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
