Method:

1) For the steak, place a large griddle pan over a high heat. Combine the olive oil with the crushed garlic in a small bowl. Tie around half of the rosemary stalks together at the stalk end to act as a baster. Season the steaks well with sea salt and black pepper. Sear the steaks for around 2 minutes each side to achieve a good crust. Lay the rosemary which does not form the baster on the grill and place the steaks on top – continue to cook until done to your liking. Whilst cooking, dip the rosemary baster in the olive oil mixture and baste the steaks frequently. Allow the steaks to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

2) Meanwhile, prepare the tomato salad by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl and seasoning to taste with sea salt and cracked black pepper.

3) Slice the steaks and serve with the tomato salad. Also great served with homemade garlic bread.
