In the hot embers of the fire, cook the leeks until soft, blackened & blistered. Put the leeks on a tray to cool & steam.

Warm a cast iron skillet, add the butter to the pan, break the nduja into pieces & melt the two together.

STEP 6
Once the steaks have rested, pour any resting juices in the pan, place the steaks in & baste with the nduja butter.
