Make marinade:
Finely chop spring onion and in a bowl whisk together
with remaining marinade ingredients.
In a large heavy-duty sealable plastic bag combine
marinade and steaks, turning steaks to coat with
marinade, and seal bag, pressing out excess air.
Marinate steaks at room temperature 1 hour.
Make salsa while steaks are marinating:
Finely chop nectarine and bell pepper.
Seed and finely chop tomatoes.
Thinly slice white and pale-green parts of
scallions and mince garlic.
Wearing protective gloves, discard seeds and ribs
from chile and finely chop chile.
In a bowl stir together all salsa ingredients
and season with salt and pepper.
Cook steaks:
Remove steaks from marinade, discarding it,
and grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6
inches over glowing coals, 3 to 4 minutes
on each side for medium-rare.
(Alternatively, grill steaks in a hot lightly oiled
well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)
Transfer steaks to a platter and let stand 5 minutes.
Serve steaks with salsa.
