To make the steak, season the steak all over with salt and pepper and brush with the oil. Heat a griddle pan over high heat and grill for 3 minutes or so on each side. Remove from the heat and add the butter, thyme and garlic. Leave the steak to rest.
To make the dressing, mix the olive oil, muscatel vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic and shallot together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
To make the artichoke, bring a saucepan of water to boil with the the lemon juice, bay leaf and pinch of salt. Add the globe artichoke and boil for around 15–20 minutes until soft at the base.
Remove and leave to cool. Cut off the stem, pull out some of the leaves and place on a serving plate, dress with the vinaigrette.
