STEP 1

Gently season the onglet steaks with salt and pepper, then roll in the cocoa powder until all sides are lightly covered.

STEP 2

Take a non-stick frying pan and drizzle a little oil inside and bring to a medium heat.

STEP 3

Add the onglets to the pan and sear on all sides, allowing to cook for about 7/8 minutes. The steaks will have some colour because of the cocoa powder. For best results cook to medium rare then remove from the heat allow them to rest.

STEP 4

While the steaks are resting, make the salad by finely slicing the fennel and apples. Drain the liquid from the pickled walnuts then cut them into quarters.

STEP 5

Mix the apple, fennel, walnuts and watercress with the ranch dressing and taste for seasoning.

STEP 6

Gently heat the steaks in a hot oven for a few minutes then slice and serve with the salad.
