  Nice easy variation on ordinary steak. We loved it! I ground the seeds with a pestle and mortar after toasting. Definitely one to make again.

  Wasn't too sure about the dressing when I made it but it worked really well. Gave a lovely fresh flavour. I have also used this with tuna steaks and it worked with those too.

  I echo the sentiments of the previous two comments. I was a little apprehensive about the dressing but it was a lovely contrast to the steak and made a refreshing change from the usual creamy or buttery dressings. I served it with the paprika potatoes as recommended. Delicious!
