    Very easy method to cooking steak, the time for steak always adds up to 10 mins.. meat should first be at room temperature.

    Brush steaks with oil or put just a little in the pan, season the meat well and straight into a reasonably hot frying pan

    For a regular size steak cook as follows

    Rare - 1 min each side, rest for 8 mins
    Med rare - 2 mins each side, rest for 6
    Medium - 3 mins each side, rest for 4
    Well done - 4 mins each side, rest for 2

    It's very important to rest your steak, wrap in foil first. Serve on warmed plates.

    This method should result in a lovely juicy steak.
    Why be a hard rock when you really are a gem!

    You could then try a lightly mild peppered sauce to top it off. Tesco do have a ready made powdered sauce by Schwartz. or you could try making your own basic white sauce with pepper corns. Lovely.

    Very interesting Juilia, i new you need to let meat rest as it still cooks after removing from the heat, but this adds a nice guide line, thanx i will also give this a bash..

    Smile Perfect steak

    "Rule of thumb" is as follows:

    Rare - First finger touch the fleshy part of palm just below the same thumb.
    Medium - Second finger as above
    Well Done - Third finger as above
    V Well done - Little finger as above

    How resistant the palm muscle is, directly indicates how soft or hard the steak will be to achieve the correct texture of the steak

    My perfect marinade is paprika, steak house seasoning and drizzled with balsamic vinager. Wrap in cling film and cool in the fridge over night. Bring steak to room temperature before cooking in a garlic butter/olive oil mix (this stops the butter from burning) and allow to rest before serving.

    Im a chef and we use touch but the golden rule for a 5 oz steak:

    Blue...Just seal on all sides and rest
    Rare...Seal in a pan then in the oven for 3-4 mins
    Medium-Rare...seal then 6 mins
    Medium...seal then 8 mins
    medium well sel 9-10 mins
    Well done... seal and just forget about it in the oven

    Cook your steak as required, remove from the pan and then add onions and mushrooms to the liquid left from frying. Cook until soft and then add a couple of dashes of worcester sauce. Remove from heat and add some cream return to heat to thicken pour onto steak and serve.

    Fry steaks to taste then leave to rest.
    In the pan fry some onions and garlic until soft and then add mushrooms and cook until tender, add a good splash of red wine and a a dessert spoonful of red currant jelly and let bubble for a couple of minutes until syrupy, pour on some double cream and stir, add salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over steak and serve with lots of crusty bread to mop up the sauce. Delicious yum.....
