Method:

  1. Rub meat with oil and season with salt and pepper.

  3. For medium-rare it should feel quite soft when you press the centre.
  4. Remove from pan, cover with tin foil and a clean tea towel and allow to rest.
  5. While meat rests, make Greek-Style Salad by placing spinach or rocket, spring onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans and capers in a salad bowl.
