Rules for cooking steak

• The meat should be fresh and of high quality, so you should not spare money on it.
• The meat must be properly cooked: the fact is that some people like a steak with blood, but for many, blood is unacceptable in meat. This point must be immediately clarified for yourself: what kind of steak will you cook.

So, there are a lot of options for cooking steak. We suggest taking the classic recipe, as it is not difficult to prepare, and it does not require many ingredients, but the taste of such meat is guaranteed to be simply amazing!

To do this, we need a piece of beef meat (300-400 g), black pepper, salt, garlic, rosemary sprig, butter, lemon.

Beefsteak cooking process

• In the matter of cooking a steak, the question of time is fundamentally important, so be sure to stock up on a timer - this is just done so that the steak is fried, but not overcooked.
• Before you start cooking meat, put the pan on the fire. A pan should be taken with a thick bottom, for example, cast iron, so that it heats up evenly. You don’t need to make a large fire right away - a medium one will be enough. If you are a fan of Well done steak, that is, without blood, well fried, then put the oven to warm up in the same way. It must be brought to a temperature of 180°C.
• While the pan is warming up, cut the meat into large pieces, 2 cm thick. We clean it from unnecessary bones, get rid of the film that is so hard to chew.
• Now, on both sides, the meat must be salted, pepper to taste, and also grated with olive oil. The point is that the pan for cooking the steak must be absolutely dry, so we grease the pieces of meat in advance.
• If the meat is already chopped and processed, and the pan is warmed up, then you can start frying the meat. First on one side - 3 minutes, then turn the meat over to the other side - also for 3 minutes.
• While the meat is fried on the second side, you can take a sprig of rosemary and lightly walk it along the already fried side, then take the garlic, make a cut on it and spread the steak with the side of the cut. Next, take a piece of butter and rub the meat with it.
• When 3 minutes have passed, the meat can be turned over again and quickly done with butter, rosemary and garlic on the second side.
• Then fry the sides of the steak.
• When everything is done, the steak can be transferred to a saucepan and sent to the oven for another 5 minutes - but this should only be done if you want the steak to be well done.

How to serve a steak

When the meat is ready, note that it will release some juice. This juice does not need to be poured! Add literally 5-6 drops of lemon juice to it and stir - this will be the sauce for the cooked steak.

Put the meat on a wide plate, pour over the sauce, you can decorate the dish with fresh vegetables. Bon appetit!
