Cook the perfect steak in five steps

We’ve got the lowdown, step-by-step.

A NICE STEAK is hard to beat, but can be a little daunting to some to cook.

Don’t worry, we have your back. We’ve searched high and low to bring you all the best tips (and gifs and videos) you need to conquer that steak cooking once and for all.

Step 1

To start, roll your piece of beef in some cling film – this will help it to keep the shape later.

Now, cut off a nice piece there.

Step 2

Rub it with a little oil…

Step 4

Place seasoned side down on a hot griddle pan and leave for 3 minutes or so. You can season the other side while you’re waiting.

Step 5

Turn it over…

and remove the clingfilm.

Another 3 minutes on this side.

Step 5

Bring it to your chopping board.  Leave it to sit for 5 minutes. This will allow all the juices to stay in the meat. Slice and serve.

May we suggest accompanying with some lightly cooked veg and a potato of some description?

(Drooling is optional)

    An Garda should be routing out these Dublin based crims rather than trying to besmirch Sinn Fein. These shootings have been going on for far too long.
    Just offer E5000 for information leading to the arrest & conviction of those with illegal firearms and make it a mandatory 5 year jail for the offenders.

    IMO, a million Euros would clear the city of illegal firearms and put a few hundred behind bars for 5 years.

    At present it’s costing multiples of this per year passively policing these crims.

    @Moorooka Mick: all you Sinn Fein members should don your finest military attire and goose step around Clondalkin and Coolock to keep the local community safe.
