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?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
