2 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp cumin

½ tsp coriander

Make the sauce by mixing together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Then set aside until ready to eat.

Pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper. Mix together the olive oil, spices and a little salt, then rub or brush over both sides of meat. Heat a griddle pan or barbecue until hot and smoking.

Slice the steaks on the diagonal into thin pieces and serve with the chimichurri sauce to spoon over.
