- Roast in the oven for at least 30 minutes before turning them over and cooking until golden brown and cooked through.
- In the meantime heat a griddle or frying pan for the steaks.
- Rub the meat with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle over the chilli flakes, turmeric, garlic and plenty of salt and pepper.
- Griddle for a minute or so on each side or to your liking, rubbing over a few rosemary sprigs every now and again to add some extra flavour. Remove from the heat and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with the wedges.
