Its only a bloody Sirloin ffs!
That is the worst steak meat there is!

Now if it was a rump, T'bone, Porterhouse or Fillet it would be worth doing well.

2mins!?!?!?!

Get stake out and alow to come to temp as everyonr said.

salt pepper. little bit of butter in pan. a tiny bit of garlic for a min or so so that the oil becoms a little garlicy.

put fat onto pan for about a min to give a little more oil. 30-40 secs in the pan.
flip it.


Serve with a few garlic mushrooms and a few home made tatie wedges (taties. herbs. onion. garlic. Oven)

A blob of salad to make it look nice. bit of french dressing and enjoy


know.what i having for tea now.

You like garlic don't you? :grin:

love it  :grin:  though tbh. in the tatie wedges you cant really taste it as an individual flavour. but the over all flavour is nice.

likewise with the steak.

Any steak is worth doing properly :cool: Meat cooked to your taste is pure awesome.

Yep keep it out the fridge for an hour before cooking as suggested,

oil the steak, not the pan as suggested,

Get the pan proper hot - as suggested,

sear both sides for about a minute each - yes you guessed it, as suggested,

Press your index finger against your thumb, and feel the pad of your hand. This is medium/rare, thumb and middle finger is medium, thumb and ring finger medium/well, thumb and little finger is well done.

Obviously depends on girth  :grin: of the steak to determine how long to cook it, but the firmness of it using the above rule will produce the outcome that you desire.

Enjoy!!

Oh and friday night is fish night!, saturday is steak night!!!!
