The Perfect Steak
With Sean Connolly
The Perfect Steak
Ingredients
1 portion steak (I like scotch fillet)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Method
Take the steak out of the fridge and allow the steak to
reach to room temperature.
Season it very lightly with salt and plenty of pepper.
Place the griddle pan on a high heat. Once the griddle has reached
the required temperature brush the steak with oil and place the
steak in the pan.
Cook for two minutes on both sides for a rare steak; three minutes
for medium; and four minutes for well-done. Increasing the timings
depending on how you like your steak cooked.
Remember the thinner the steak, the less the cooking time.
Once cooked, leave the steak to rest on a warm plate in a warm
place (such as a very low oven) for a few minutes, so that the
juices will settle evenly within the meat, while also allowing the
meat to relax and become even tender.
Serve the steak with chips with Dijon mustard.
