Heat the oil in a grill pan/griddle set over high heat or preheat the barbecue.
Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the steaks.
Season lightly with salt and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing thinly on the diagonal.
To serve, spread each tortilla with a thin layer of guacamole.
Add a generous helping of steak and top with a spoonful of onion relish.
Serve immediately with sliced tomatoes and extra guacamole.
