Steak with Truffle Butter

Meat Lovers

We recommend the following cooking times for a 3.5cm thick fillet steak:

• Blue: 1½ mins each side

• Rare: 2¼ mins each side

• Medium-rare: 3¼ mins each side

• Medium: 4½ mins each side

Sirloin steak cooking times

We also recommend the following for a 2cm thick sirloin steak:

• Blue: 1 min each side

• Rare: 1½ mins per side

• Medium rare: 2 mins per side

• Medium: About 2¼ mins per side

• Well-done steak: Cook for about 4-5 mins each side, depending on thickness.

-Heat a heavy-based frying pan until very hot but not smoking.

-Drizzle some oil into the pan and leave for a moment.

-Add the steak, a knob of butter, some garlic and robust herbs, if you want.

-Sear evenly on each side for our recommended time, turning every minute for the best-caramelised crust.

-Leave to rest on a board or warm plate for about 5 mins.

-Serve the steak whole or carved into slices with the resting juices poured over.

Tips: Spread out the truffle butter as soon as you removed the meat from the pan.
