Transfer the cooked steaks to a chopping board and cover with a tea towel to rest

Peel and finely slice the onion(s)

Combine 1 tsp (2 tsp) red wine vinegar (save the rest for step 5) with the mayonnaise and garlic in a large mixing bowl

Remove your cooked wedges from the oven, turn the oven off and switch the grill to high
