Tips for the perfect Eye Fillet Steak

Prep

  • 1)

    Must have meat at room temperature before cooking.

  • 2)

    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.

  • 5)

    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.

Cooking times

  • 1)

    Medium rare: 4 mins on first side, then 3 mins on second side.

  • 2)

    Medium: 5 mins, then 4 mins.

  • 3)

    Well done: 6 mins, then 5 mins.

  • 4)

    Rare: 3 mins, then 2 mins.

  • 5)

    Always rest for 4 mins afterwards.

For a boujee steak

  • 1)

    After resting, put pan on a low heat.

  • 2)

    Place a tablespoon of butter and a small bunch of thyme or rosemary in.

  • 3)

    Spoon the browning melted butter over the steak (also in the pan) for approx 30 seconds.

  • 4)

    Serve with a little squeeze of lemon over the top.
