How to cook the best tastiest pan-fried steaks recipe (for two)

Ingredients:

• 2 sirloin steaks, not too thin, about ½ inch or 2 cm thick
• 2 small knobs of butter, about ½  oz (10g) each
• 2 tbsps olive oil
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• ½  tsp salt
• A timer that can measure minutes and seconds

Method

This method is for medium rare steak. Simply allow extra cooking time if you prefer medium or well-done steaks.

• Using a flat frying pan or a skillet (there is no difference in cooking time), pour the olive oil, one knob of butter and sprinkle on the salt, black pepper. Set your stove top ring to a medium heat. Say the dial goes from 1 to 9 set it at 6. Allow it 2 to 3 minutes to heat through, so that the butter has melted and the pan is hot.

• Place the steaks on the frying pan. Arrange them so that the fatty edges are in the middle of the pan.

• Cook for 2 minutes on one side. Then turn them over and cook for 1½  minutes on the other side. If you like them medium rare, do not exceed these timings.

• Remove from the pan onto warm plates (not hot, as cooking will continue) and leave them to relax for 5 minutes or more.
