Buy some nice rib eye from William Rose, season with salt and pepper, get pan (heavy bottomed non-stick if poss) really hot, little bit of oil with garlic clove and some thyme or rosemary, cook (without moving) for 1 and a half minutes on each side, let it rest for 5 minutes afterwards. Will be perfect medium rare. Eat with a poached egg.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but for a good steak at home... Buy a good steak to begin with. No amount of expensive griddle pans will turn a pre packed supermarket steak into flavour


but assuming you have a decent steak, pepper but don't salt it, put it on an already very hot pan and depending on thickness cook on each side until done to taste. I'm medium rare so assuming a 2cm thick steak about 2 to 3 mins each side. Ish

My recent discovery is to leave the steak out for a couple of hours to make sure it is room temp before you start cooking - that way you can cook it rare without it being cold in the middle.


I use a hot griddle plate - sits on top of the gas burners, make sure its very hot before putting steak on.


I still get it wrong quite a lot as the missus like hers more cooked than mine and it can be hard to get both right - obviously its most important to get her steak right than mine (otherwise I can't enjoy my own, even if its perfect)...

This is quite the most peculiar method I've ever heard of cooking a steak - am intrigued. Hal, for a rare / medium rare, would the juices not be bloody if you pierce it (and if you pierce it during the cooking process, do you not lose all the juices)?


And more to the point, how on earth did you come across this method of cooking? Were you travelling in the arctic and came across a baby mammoth steak frozen in the ice?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
