STEAK

Cooking the perfect slab of meat is tricky to get right, so Donald Russell
has put together a five-step plan to make your steaks tender and juicy
❶

❷

❸

PREPARATION 

PREHEAT 
Make sure your
griddle or frying pan
is preheated to the
highest temperature
before you start to
cook. It should be hot
enough that you hear a
sizzle when you place
the meat into the pan.
Using a pan which is not
hot enough can cause
toughness. Add a little
olive oil, too.

PERFECTION

PAUSE

PRECISION

Cook one side first
and then the other
(for a fillet, four to five
minutes each side for
rare, five and a half to
six minutes for medium,
and seven to eight
minutes for well-done;
visit donaldrussell.com
for more information).
Turn your steaks gently
and only once to avoid
letting out juices.

Resting your steaks is
crucial. During resting,
the juices move evenly
through the steaks
and the full flavour and
tenderness develops.
Place the steaks on a
rack, cover loosely with
foil and leave in a warm
place (for example, a
60ºC oven with the fan
turned off) for about
10 minutes.

Finally, always use a
razor-sharp, nonserrated knife to cut
your steaks. A serrated
blade encourages
diners to 'saw' at
their steaks, which
gives an impression
of toughness to even
the most tender meat.
A sharp blade slices
cleanly through and
enhances the experience.

About 20 minutes
before you start
cooking, pat the
defrosted meat dry
with kitchen paper.
Spread out your steaks
on a board in a single
layer. This will allow
the meat to 'bloom'
and reach room
temperature before
you get it into a hot
frying pan.
