How to cookThe perfect steakChef's tipsYou will need: a grill pan (ideally a cast iron skillet), a pair of tongs, a baking tray, olive oil, and sea salt.Preparation is keyBring your steak to room temperature by taking it out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Use a paper towel to pat your steak dry before seasoning. Oil your steak - not your pan.Season with only sea salt and be generous with the salt if you want a deliciously salty crust on your steak!Heat up your pan for around 5 minutes to ensure it is piping hot. You can check this by sprinkling a few drops of water - if the water dances around, the pan is ready!Tips for cooking the perfect steakSearing: Make sure you allow the steak to build up a nice seared crust on high heat before flipping, and don't forget to sear the edges! If there is a thick layer of fat on the edge of your steak, hold it up vertically to brown the fat. Once seared on both sides, turn the steak frequently for an even cook through.Checking: If you have a temperature probe, follow the internal temperatures below to cook the steak to your preference.Medium-Rare: 55°C-60°C / Medium: 60°C-65°C / Medium-Well: 65°C-70°CPlating up like a pro for the restaurant experienceResting: Before plating your steak, ensure it's well-rested for at least 10 minutes and ideally on a warm plate or baking tray. Avoid resting on the pan as this may overcook the steak.Carving: If your steak is on the bone, carve the meat off the bone first by running a sharp knife between the meat and the bone.Next, identify the direction of the grain, which are the parallel fibres running through the meat, and cut against the grain into slices with a thickness of your liking.Plating: We would recommend serving your steak on warm plates.
