Here we give you some top tips
for seasoning & cooking the perfect steak at home............
Steak: options for seasoning:
Olive oil, salt and pepper. - Simple, allowing the steaks natural flavour to come through.
Rubs - Apply oil and your choice of herb to the steak
15 minutes prior to cooking.
Marinades -Marinate your steak a couple of hours before
cooking.
Extra Flavour - Try adding Garlic Butter or Pepper Sauce to your cooked steak.
1. Take steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking
to allow to come to
room temperature. Heat your griddle or frying pan over a
high heat, until smoking
hot.
2. Lightly brush the steak with a little olive oil and
season with sea salt and freshly
ground black pepper just before cooking. (You can also add
some fresh rosemary)
3. Don't griddle more than two steaks at a time, and keep
them spaced well apart. If
you add more than two steaks to the pan at once, the
temperature will drop and the
steak will stew, rather than fry.
4. Don't turn the steaks until good seared markings are
achieved, then turn them
over and cook on the other side.
5. Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes (in tinfoil)
before serving,
to allow the juices that have been drawn to the surface to relax back
into the meat.
