When steak is cooked to desired doneness transfer it to a plate and leave to rest for 2 minutes.

3. When you are ready to eat, add the avocado, tomatoes, and lettuce to the bowl with the dressing, cucumber, and spring onions, and gently toss the whole lot together.
4. Pile up your salad on a plate, slice your steak and place on the salad, before finishing with the chopped peanuts. Enjoy!
