For the salsa:

• 3 tomatoes, skinned, deseeded & chopped

First make the salsa by mixing together the chopped tomatoes, tomato juice, 1 tablespoon of the oil, red onion, horseradish, coriander and black pepper and mix together well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the grill to medium. Crush the peppercorns with a pestle & mortar or rolling pin. Brush the steaks with the rest of the oil and cost with the crushed peppercorns.

Place the steaks on the grill rack and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked to your liking. Serve with the red onion salad and a crisp green salad.
