Rump Steak
Rump steak is famous for its deeply rich flavour and tender bite. A versatile cut that responds well to various cooking methods, here’s how we recommend preparing it:
- Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper
- Preheat your grill or pan to high heat
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving
Fillet Steak
Prized for its buttery softness and refined flavour, fillet steak requires a more gentle touch:
- Let the steak reach room temperature before cooking
- Season lightly to bring out the subtle flavours
- Sear in a hot pan for 2 to 3 minutes per side until it develops a golden crust
- Finish cooking in a preheated oven at 180°C for 5 to 7 minutes for a medium-rare finish
- Serve alongside a lighter sauce like béarnaise
Rib-Eye Steak
Renowned for its beautiful marbling and distinctive flavour, rib-eye steak shines on the grill:
- Pat the sides of the steak dry then season with salt and pepper
- Preheat your grill to high heat
- Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for a juicy medium-rare finish
- Leave to rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to develop
Sirloin Steak
Hitting the ideal balance between juicy tenderness and rich flavour, this steakhouse classic is sure to bring the house down:
- First bring the steak to room temperature
- Season well with sea salt and coarse black pepper
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet until smoking hot
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain
Angus Steak
Another steak lusted after for its rich marbling is the Aberdeen Angus steak. It requires a specific cooking method to unlock its premium taste and texture:
- Bring to room temperature
- Season carefully with sea salt and black pepper
- Heat your grill or cast-iron pan until it’s smoking hot
- Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare results
- Allow to settle for 5 to 10 minutes before serving
Wagyu Steak
With its mouth watering texture, Wagyu steak is celebrated for its silky buttery tenderness. Here’s how to grill it to perfection:
- Allow the steak to come to room temperature
- Season delicately with salt only
- Cook in a sizzling hot preheated pan for 1 to 2 minutes per side
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain
Mastering the Grilling Techniques
To recreate our steakhouse-quality results at home, it’s crucial to understand these simple yet highly effective grilling technique tips:
Cooking Temperature
Getting steak to your desired level of doneness depends on your understanding of cooking temperature. It’s essential to use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy every time:
- Bleu: 43°C
- Rare: 49-54°C
- Medium-rare: 54-57°C
- Medium: 57-63°C
- Medium-well: 63-68°C
- Well-done: 68°C and up
Top tip: Remove the steak from heat when it’s a couple of degrees below your target temperature, as it will continue to cook as it rests.
Setting Up the Grill
Proper grill setup is essential for crafting a juicy, succulent steak:
- Clean the grill grates thoroughly
- Preheat the grill to a high heat (between 230-260°C)
- Create two heat zones: one for direct high heat, and a cool one for indirect heat
- Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking
Cooking Steak Preparations
Preparing your steak well makes an incredible world of difference when it comes to achieving the perfect texture and smoky flavour. Before you start cooking, make sure to follow these simple preparation steps:
- Bring the steak to room temperature 30 to 60 minutes before cooking
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels for a perfect sizzle
- Season generously with salt and pepper or your favourite rub
- Brush lightly with oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning
Top tip: The key to a perfect steak lies in the details. Take your time, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and techniques to find your preferred result.
