Instructions

Step 1

🔥 Step 1: Bring Steak to Room Temperature Remove the steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking throughout.

Step 2

🧂 Step 2: Season Properly Pat the steaks dry, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

🔥 Step 3: Heat the Pan Place your pan over high heat until it’s very hot. Add olive oil just before placing the steak in.

Step 4

🥩 Step 4: Sear the Steak Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side without moving it. This creates a rich, golden crust.

Step 5

🧈 Step 5: Add Butter & Aromatics Reduce heat slightly, then add butter, garlic, and herbs. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak for added flavour.

Step 6

⏳ Step 6: Rest the Steak Transfer to a board and let it rest for 5 minutes. This keeps the juices inside the meat.

Step 7

🔪 Step 7: Slice Against the Grain Using a sharp knife, slice the steak into even strips against the grain. Use smooth, single strokes rather than sawing motions for the best texture.
