Beef Tenderloin Steaks
A really good trick for the perfect steak is to measure the steak and then cook it at high heat for exactly 1 minute per centimeter of thickness.
Equipment
- Chef'S Knife
- Cutting Board
- Frying Pan (option 1)
- Grill Pan (option 2)
- Hob
Ingredients
- 2 pcs. beef steaks of beef tenderloin, about 400 grams in total
- Butter for frying
- Oil for frying
- Spices salt and pepper
- Rosemary Fresh sprigs
Instructions
- Start by measuring the steaks to calculate the exact cooking time. Over time, you will be able to do this "by eye," but the first few times, it is a good idea to use a ruler or a measuring tape.
- Take the steaks out of the fridge and sprinkle them lightly with salt.
- Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Pat the meat dry with paper towels, and they are ready for frying.
- Heat a frying pan/grill pan with oil.
- When the pan is hot, add a good dollop of butter.
- Place the steaks and sprigs of fresh rosemary on the hot pan and fry them for the number of minutes that matches the thickness of the steaks.
- If your steak is, for example, three centimeters thick, it should have three minutes on one side and three minutes on the other side. Set your phone or a timer to ring, as the minutes go faster than you think. Do not flip the steak until it is time to cook the other side, and you will get a perfectly cooked steak - every time!
- It is important that you do not flip the steaks before the time has passed, as you will not get that delicious, crispy crust that characterizes a good steak.
- Serve the steaks with your preferred side dish.
