Premium Steak Ingredients- 500g Beef Striploin
- 250g Beef Tenderloin
- Pinch of salt, to taste
- Pinch of black pepper, to taste
- A little cooking oil
- Pinch of dried parsley flakes for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. To test if it’s ready, carefully drop 1-2 drops of water into the pan. If they sizzle and evaporate immediately, the pan is perfectly heated. This high heat is crucial for searing the steak quickly and locking in its juices.
Step 2
Gently place the 500g of striploin and 250g of tenderloin onto the hot skillet. It’s a good idea to pat the steaks dry with a paper towel before searing. Lightly sprinkle salt over the meat to season. The salt will enhance the natural flavor of the beef.
Step 3
Now, let’s sear the steaks. After placing the meat in the pan, flip it every 30 seconds. This frequent flipping ensures that the steak cooks evenly on all sides and helps retain maximum moisture.
Step 4
Continue this process of flipping the steaks every 30 seconds for a total of 5 minutes. Keep the heat on high throughout this cooking time. Searing over high heat for a short duration creates a beautiful crust while keeping the inside perfectly medium-rare and tender.
Step 5
After exactly 5 minutes of cooking, remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a plate or cutting board. Let the steaks rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful steak.
Step 6
Once rested, slice the steak into your desired serving portions. For best results, slice the steak relatively quickly after resting to prevent too much steam from escaping.
Step 7
Finally, finish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of dried parsley flakes. You can serve your delicious homemade steak with your favorite sauce or side dishes for a complete and satisfying meal!
