Step 1

Preheat the oven to 160°C and a frying pan to very hot. Season eye fillet steaks with salt and pepper. Sear with a little oil in the pan for 2 minutes on each side until golden.

Step 2

Transfer to the oven and cook for 3 minutes on each side. For rare, check for 50°C internal using a digital meat thermometer. Remove from the oven, then allow to rest for 5 minutes on a cooling rack and chill in the fridge.

Step 3

For the dressing, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and honey, adding oil in a steady stream.

Step 4

For the figs, cut in half lengthways and sprinkle sugar on top. Heat a dry pan until hot and sear the cut side of the fig for 30 seconds until caramelized.

Step 5

To assemble, slice beef thinly across the grain, cut tomatoes into wedges, arrange lettuce, figs, beef, and tomatoes. Then crumble over goat cheese, sprinkle with walnuts, and drizzle generously with dressing.
