1. Bring the steaks to room temperature about 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
3. Steak is best cooked over a medium heat so add your steak to the pann just as the oil begins to smoke. You should hear a distinct sizzle when added to the pan.
4. Cook the meat for 3 minutes each side for rare to medium, 6-8 minutes for medium well or longer if desired.
5. Rest of the steak for 4-5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the muscle fibres to cool down, so the meat retains the juices, rather than spilling out on the plate.
