Proper beef steak

An elegant, hearty and tasty dish worthy of any occasion. Served with various sauces and side dishes. Fatty and rich sauces and side dishes are good for lean cuts (filet mignon). Vegetables and a light sauce are good for marbled beef steak (Ribeye). Steaks made from fatty meat are delicious with pepper or sour sauces. If the meat was cooked in the oven, serve it with mashed potatoes or dip sauce. When pan frying steak, serve it with fresh salad or asparagus. Grilled steak is ideal with vegetables that are pre-cooked but slightly crispy.

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking timeCooking time: 20 mins
  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    To cook the right beef steak, you must first decide on the degree of doneness (there are 5 classic ones, but many choose Medium Rare, Medium and Medium Well) and choose a piece of meat of the desired thickness.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    In order for the steak to turn out correctly, the meat must be completely dry before cooking - pat it dry.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Next, spices. Traditionally ground black pepper is used. It is better to grind it right before the hottest in a convenient way. But keep in mind - not to the state of dust, but to the state of such particles as in the photo.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    At this point, you can already put the frying pan on gas - let it heat up, we need a well-heated frying pan (preferably a grill). Salt a piece of meat that has been greased with this oil, roll it in freshly crushed pepper, let it sit, and then lightly pound the surface with your fingers so that the salt and spices are well fixed on it.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    If the pan is hot, pour oil into it. Has it warmed up? Immediately send the steak here, covering it with spices, bay leaf, garlic, cut into slices. The oil should sizzle.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Don't leave the stove for a second. We need to catch the right moment, because the degree of frying should be exactly the one you chose. To get a lightly browned steak, frying for three minutes on both sides is enough. If you want a better crust, add a minute, and so on. When turning over to the other side, do not use a knife or fork under any circumstances. The juice should not leak out. Therefore, we take something more convenient and turn it over to the other side.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Is the steak ready? Remove it from the pan and serve. This is how beautiful a steak turns out when cooked to Medium Rare.

  8. STEP 8

    STEP 8

    And this is Well Done.
