Method
Prepare the marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl. Place the steaks into the marinade, coat well and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Lay 2 large sheets of filo pastry onto a work surface. Brush one with melted butter, place the second sheet of filo on top and smooth to remove any creases.
Cut the filo in half horizontally and then make 4 vertical cuts into the pastry. This will give you 8 square pieces.
Line each muffin mould with a square of pastry to create a basket shape.
Bake the baskets in a hot oven for 10 minutes until golden and crisp.
Heat a non-stick frying pan until it is very hot. Add a little oil and sear the steaks for 1 minute on both sides, remove from the pan and place onto an oven tray. Pour the remaining marinade on top of the steaks and cook in a hot oven for 5 minutes for medium rare.
Remove the steaks from the oven and rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
Mix with the salad ingredients and fill each filo basket before serving.
