Cook the perfect steak

Ingredients

• Steak

• Butter

• Garlic

• Thyme

Instructions

Place a large heavy frying pan on a high heat.

Season the steaks well with the Maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the sunflower oil to the hot pan. When it starts to smoke add the steaks. It’s important to leave the steaks and resist the temptation to move them around.

After 2-3 minutes blood will start to appear on the top, they're now ready to turn. Cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.  Add the butter, garlic and thyme at this point and allow the butter to foam.

If your steaks have a particularly fatty edge, use tongs to hold each steak on its side and press the fatty edge into the pan to colour.

Remove the steaks and place on a metal tray in a warm, not hot, place to rest for 4-5 minutes. The temperature of the steaks will actually rise as they rest.
