Making the perfect steak
Raw
Steak.md

To make this steak:

  1. You will need: A half-decent steak, black peppercorns (crushed), sea salt (I prefer Maldon), timer/stopwatch
  2. Trim any and all fat
  3. Leave steak to reach room temp
  4. Once at room temp, rub with olive oil and cracked black pepper (no salt yet, this will dry the meat out)
  5. Heat an empty (no oil, no nothing) pan until it is very hot
  6. Once heated, drop your steak into the pan, start your timer
  7. Move the steak around the pan turning over it every 15 seconds (no, I’m not joking :P)
  8. Crumble a load of sea salt onto the meat as it cooks
  9. Keep flipping every 15s, pressing it into the pan, adding salt as desired
  10. For rare, remove the steak after 4m30s
  11. Wrap the steak in foil and leave to stand for a few minutes
  12. Grab a beer
  13. You know the drill.
