Method

Rub the steak with the crushed cumin, zest of ½ lemon, salt and black pepper, then spray all over with the olive oil. Heat a griddle pan until hot, then sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Set aside to rest, then slice.
Put the olive oil in a separate clean frying pan and warm on a low heat with the garlic, a pinch of sea salt and the juice of ½ lemon. Add the sliced tomato and warm gently for a few minutes.
Toss the salad leaves with an extra squeeze of lemon and a little salt, then serve with the steak and the warm tomatoes alongside.
