The Prep
Before you begin, you should warn everyone else that you are following your instinctive need to cook meat and you cannot be disturbed - mastering steak is a solitary task!
Using your meat knife cut your Sirloin steaks evenly 3-4cm thick.
Remove from fridge 30-60 minutes before cooking, to make sure they’re at room temperature.
Rub down with oil (flavourless oil best with a high smoking point e.g. groundnut or vegetable oil).
Coat in generous amount of sea salt.
Avoid adding pepper until after the steak is cooked (if the pan is hot, the pepper will burn and taste acrid).
Preheat your oven to 150°C.
Cooking
Use a a griddle or heavy based frying pan large enough to hold the meat. Preheat until the pan sizzles when you add a drop of oil.
Grab your Sirloin steak with some tongs and sear the fat for 60 seconds before placing it on its flat side.
Gently place your steak on its side and cook for…
(baste the Sirloin steaks with butter and add rosemary & garlic after the steaks have been flipped)
~ Blue: 1 min each side
~ Rare: 1½ mins per side
~ Med-rare: 2 mins per side
~ Medium: 2¼ mins per side
~ Well-done: 4 mins each side** Try NOT to touch your steak while it’s cooking! **
After cooking, wrap your steaks loosely in tinfoil.
Cook in your preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Rest your Sirloin steaks in a hot place for 5 minutes before serving and the meat will relax and reabsorb all those juices, giving you a tender, juicy steak.
