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.

Cooking a perfect Steak at home: in 5 steps

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.
