How To Cook The Perfect Steak

How to Cook the Perfect Steak:

1. Bring your steak to room temperature to ensure that the steak is the same temperature throughout to help cook evenly.
2. Oil the meat instead of the pan and use sunflower oil. Sunflower oil tolerates a higher temperature than olive oil and the dry heat creates a perfect crust.
3. Ensure that the pan is very hot for a perfect sear
4. Don’t put too many steaks in the pan, as it will overcrowd and end up steaming the steak.
5. Only turn the steak once, when the edges are seared a rich brown
6. Leave your cooked steak to rest, undisturbed, for at least 10 minutes as this will make the steak juicy by redistributing the juices through the steak
7. Rub your steak with a little butter before slicing so that it becomes extra juicy.
8. Slice your steak against the grain for a tender slice of meat.
