Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.

Step 2

For the marinade, put all the ingredients into a spice grinder or the small bowl of a food processor with 4 teaspoon of salt and blitz to a paste, scraping the sides as you go if necessary.

Step 3

Put 2 teaspoons of the marinade into a small serving bowl and set aside.

Step 4

Put the remaining marinade into a large bowl with the swede steaks and mix well to coat all sides (this is easiest with gloved hands).

Step 5

Place the steaks, spaced apart, on a large, parchment-lined baking tray.

Step 6

Cover tightly with foil and roast for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil, turn the oven to the grill setting, and grill for 3-4 minutes, until the swede is cooked through and the marinade has turned into a golden-brown crust.

Step 8

When the swede is nearly cooked, prepare the salad.

Step 9

Cut the grapefruits into thin wedges by removing the skin and the white pith, then release the segments

Step 10

by cutting in between the white membrane, discarding any pips.

Step 11

Put the wedges into a large bowl, avoiding the juice (which can be kept for another use).

Step 12

When you're ready to serve, add all the remaining salad ingredients to the bowl with a generous pinch of salt and gently mix together.

Step 13

Arrange the steaks and any marinade left on the tray on a large platter with the salad (or plate individually).

Step 14

Swirl the crème fraîche into the remaining marinade and serve alongside the steaks, with the lime wedges squeezed on top
