HFG tip

Step by step: Cooking the perfect steak

Step 1 Bring steak to room temperature. Heat a pan or barbecue until hot.

Step 2 Spray steak with oil, then cook on a high heat. Season with pepper while one side is cooking. Cook each side to your liking, turning once with tongs.

Step 3 Turn steak on its side to seal sides.

Cooking guidelines (for a steak 4cm in thickness):

For a rare steak, cook each side for 1 1/2 minutes
For a medium steak, cook each side for 2 1/2–3 minutes

Once cooked, rest steak for 5 minutes before serving so juices are reabsorbed.
