Remove most with a chisel then finish off with a belt sander. A steamer may
work, but might also damage the backing, depending on what it is and how
good the adhesive was.

Buy a wide sds chisel from screwfix designed to remove tiles from the wall. After a while you will find you can pop off most of the tile cement easily without damaging the plaster underneath. Brilliant!!
