Tips for the perfect Eye Fillet Steak
Prep

Must have meat at room temperature before cooking.

Cut your steaks into 1 inch thick pieces (to standardise cooking time, can do the same with other cuts of steak too).
- 3)
Use your wok burner and get the pan CRANKING hot.
- 4)
Generously salt both sides (with good quality salt flakes.

Do not put oil onto the steaks. Instead, add a generous amount of olive oil (or ghee) to the pan once it has come up to a high heat.
