How to Cook the Perfect Steak
From using the right pan to cooking it at the right temperature and for the right amount of time - there's so much to consider when it comes to mastering the perfect steak. And then there's the debate about seasoning - do you season an hour before cooking, just before it goes in the pan, or not at all? Follow our step by step guide and learn as our chefs take you through all the key stages to achieving that restaurant-quality steak we all long for.
Ingredients
Steak Options
- Rump Steak
- Sirloin Steak
- Fillet Steak
Other Ingredients
- Salt
- Pepper
- Butter
- Olive Oil
Top Tips
- Oil your meat, instead of oiling the pan before adding your meat in.
- For a fillet Steak, sear the steak all around, not just front and back.
- Recommended cooking times (based on our 170g sirloin steak): Rare - 2 minutes each side, Medium - 3 minutes each side, Well Done - 4 minutes each side.
Method
- Before grilling, bring the steak to room temperature and pat dry.
- Season your steak - but don't season it too early as it will draw out moisture.
- If you're cooking your steak in a pan, heat a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. Alternatively, turn on your grill.
- Once the pan or grill is hot, carefully place your steak in.
- Turn the steak once half-way though to allow for even cooking, and add a knob of butter to form a delicious crust.
- Once you've cooked your steak to your liking, allow the steak to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
