1
First, make the fresh salsa. Finely dice the tomatoes and mix with the remaining ingredients. Leave to stand for a few minutes, then drain excess liquid off and set aside.
2
For the chilli mayo, mix ingredients together in a bowl and chill until needed.
3
Heat a barbecue or grill on high heat and season the steak liberally with taco seasoning.
4
Cook for 2 minutes on each side, for rare (cook longer depending on your liking). Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice.
5
To serve, arrange the lettuce leaves on a platter and add a few generous spoons of the tomato salsa, add 2 or 3 pieces of steak and add a generous dollop of chilli mayo. Garnish and serve with lime wedges and a sprinkling of toasted cumin seeds.

For added crunch, garnish with some crispy shallots or toasted sesame seeds.

Replace the steak with slow-cooked pork, oily fleshed fish, or roasted eggplants.

For a less spicy version, use the recipe for avo-mayo.
