- Meanwhile, start making the salsa. Put the red onionin a bowl, sprinkle with the salt and leave for 10 minutes.
- Rub the steaks with the extra oil and season. Heat a griddle pan until hot. Cook the steaks for 2 minutes each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer well done. Set aside and keep warm to rest.
- Rinse the red onion in warm water and drain. Add to a bowl with the tomatoes, the lemonzest and juice, extra-virgin olive oil and some seasoning and stir well.
