Equipment
- 1 cast iron skillet / enamel coated cast iron
- 1 meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 250g filet steak
- olive oil
- sea salt
Instructions
- Allow meat to come to room temperature before cooking
- Pat off excess moisture with kitchen paper
- Oil the meat, not the pan. And season with salt only (not pepper – as black peppercorns can burn with the high heat point during cooking)
- Heat griddle pan (ideally) or frying pan up to a high heat – you want the pan to be HOT 🔥 when the steak hits it
- For medium/rare – cook the steak for approx. 3 mins per side
- NOTE: times are approximate based on thickness of steak, heat of pan, heat transference etc. it’s why the next tip is most important…
- Use a meat thermometer (you can pick one of these up for about £8 on Amazon) to check the internal temperature (see guideline times above)
- ALWAYS rest your steak before serving
