Drying your meat and condiments
A thick fillet will develop a better "crust"
Steak is not one of the cheaper cuts so it is important to cook the right way so you can achieve the perfect meal not an expensive "misteak". There are many different types of steak all with different flavors and textures. (The guide below shows the variations and cooking options to consider).
For this guide we are taking a rib fillet as the example. (Although fillet steak or Rump would also work just as well). The focus here is on the kitchen with a frying pan instead of the grill or BBQ.
Preparing to cook steak
It is best to get the steak at room temperature before you start cooking. The meat directly from the fridge will brown on the outside, but the inside temperature will stay low and not cook properly with the times suggested here.
So take the meat early and leave enough time for it to warm. If you return home late in the day and do not have enough time you can expedite the process by wrapping the steak in the film to adhere and place in a container of warm water. The grip film is to keep the meat dry - it will be difficult to brown a wet surface.
Much of the distinctive flavor in your finished meat will come from the charing, caramelisation and tanning on the outer surface. A moist steak will not form a good golden crunchy surface so the next stage with your meat at room temperature is now using a cloth or kitchen towel to dry the surface.
Then lightly oil the surface of the meat, we recommend a vegetable oil for this - As you will be cooking at high temperatures a more refined oil will take the highest heat without burning and giving unwanted flavors.
For seasoning, rub the outside with plenty of sea salt. Be generous and make sure that the fat areas are not lost. Do not put the seasoning on too soon as the salt will take the moisture out of the meat. Up to 15 minutes before cooking will be on the right - losing some moisture on the surface will only improve the bark. A good amount of freshly ground pepper will add additional depth to the finished fillet taste.
How to cook steak in the pan
To get a good tasty exterior on the meat you will have to cook at a high temperature. To obtain a very hot cooking surface, use a skillet with a thick bottom. Cast iron cookware is perfect for this.
Place the pan on a high heat with a very small amount of oil in the pan. A little oil will help. You can see that as the temperature rises the oil slims and stretches. When you start smoking, you are ready to cook.
Depending on the thickness of your steak you may need to reduce the heat while you cook
Thickness and timing
The speed at which cooks cook depends on the thickness of your meat. Too thin and the meat will be cooked before the outside is brown, very thick can result in a charred and medium raw exterior. To obtain the perfect result of a good crust with a juicy interior appearance for a steak that is at least 2.5 to 3 cm thick. Obviously the customers in our store can order their meat cut as thick as they want. Experiment with different thicknesses to get the steak as you like.
Cooking times
We suggest only turning the steak once per side and maybe using tongs to brown the outer edge of the fat (if you have a sirloin or rump) at the end.
Rare: 2 ½ minutes each side
Medium: 4 minutes on each side
Well done: 5 minutes each side
To measure how well steak is steak is you can also try to press the steak with your fingertip - soft will be rare, while firm to the touch will be well done.
Your steak will continue to cook after being taken from the pan so do not be tempted to leave it too long - it will get firmer. Let stand for a few minutes before eating.
If you want a really rich version, add a little butter at the end of the cooking time and splice the steak with it just before placing it on the plate.
