Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220C fan. Place the steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix together some oil and the remaining steak ingredients and brush 1/2 of it over the steaks. Bake in the oven for 15 mins, then flip over each steak and coat again with the remaining mixture and bake again for another 15 mins.
3. For the salad, mix together all the ingredients, season and divide between two plates. Season.
4. Blitz together all the ingredients for the avo sauce in a blender and season.
To serve, place the steaks over the chickpeas and add some dollops of avo sauce. The cauliflower leaf crisp added a fun layer of texture to this otherwise delicious plate of food - recipe can be found @sonasfoodjournal
