Don’t be shy with burning the spring onions, the balance of sweet and bitter flavours this creates in the dressing is wonderful…

Step 1;

Combine the rub ingredients in a pestle and mortar and bash together. Ensure the steaks are dry before seasoning with salt and rubbing in the dry rub.

Step 2;

Set the steaks on a cooling rack and leave uncovered in the fridge for 4-6 hours.

Step 3;

Briefly toast the walnuts in Roccbox before popping into a bowl, grating over the garlic and covering with 3 Tbsp of the olive oil. Set to one side to infuse.

Step 4;

Allow the steaks to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cooking and ensuring Roccbox is up to full temperature, pre heat a pan with a lug of oil and cook the steaks for around 2 minutes on each side. Leave to rest.

Step 5;

Wipe out the pan and add the spring onions and cherry tomatoes before returning the pan to Roccbox to burn the ingredients – this should take about 6-8 minutes.

Step 6;

Add the remaining dressing ingredients to the walnuts, chop the burnt tomatoes and spring onions and chuck them in too. Season well.

Step 7;

Carve the bavettes against the grain before topping with the dressing.
