Pan Seared Fillet Steak

Tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour, fillet steak is prized for its buttery texture.
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: British
Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

  • 2 Fillet steaks about 225g each
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil for cooking
  • 30 g Butter for basting
  • 2 clove Garlic minced or grated
  • 10 g Fresh thyme 2 sprigs or rosemary
  • Sea salt to tatse
  • Cracked black pepper to taste

Method

  • Take the steak out of the fridge 20–30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly and prevents the centre from staying too cold.
  • Gently pat the steak dry with kitchen paper. Removing excess moisture helps form a beautiful, caramelised crust when you sear it.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper all over the steak. You can also add a drizzle of oil if you like.
  • Let the seasoning sit for a few minutes. This allows the flavours to penetrate slightly before the heat hits the pan.
  • Preheat a heavy skillet until very hot.
  • Lightly oil the pan.
  • Place the steak in the pan and sear for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Add a knob of butter, crushed garlic, and a sprig of rosemary or thyme.
  • Spoon the melted butter over the steak while cooking to enhance flavour.
  • Remove the steak and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
