How To Cook The Perfect Fillet Steak (The Easy Way) Step 1: Take your meat out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking it. Step 2: Heat a large, dry wide-based pan until it’s ripping hot! . Step 3: Once your steak is golden brown, turn the temperature down so you keep cooking the steak without burning it.
A cooked steak should rest at room temperature for at least five minutes and ideally around half the cooking time – it will stay warm for anything up to 10 minutes. Here, pure science comes into play – the fibres of the meat will reabsorb the free-running juices resulting in a moist and tender finish to your steak.
Leave to rest on a board or warm plate for about 5 mins. Serve the steak whole or carved into slices with the resting juices poured over. Use your fingers to prod the cooked steak – when rare it will feel soft, medium-rare will be lightly bouncy, and well-done will be much firmer.
