00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:02,120
The guide to cooking a perfect steak.

2
00:00:02,260 --> 00:00:02,960
Hot pan.

3
00:00:02,966 --> 00:00:08,346
The secret here is to make sure that 
we literally sear the steak and not boil it.

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,220
Season it first...beautifully done.

5
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:15,800
Get some nice, large grains of pepper 
so you got a nice bit of heat.

6
00:00:16,220 --> 00:00:20,120
Mop up all that seasoning
and sort of push in.

7
00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:22,960
The foremost important part is to make sure 
you take them out of the fridge

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,220
20 minutes before you 
actually start cooking them.

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,840
Cooking a steak that's 
stone cold in the center,

10
00:00:27,860 --> 00:00:29,440
you're going to have 
to overcook it on the outside.

11
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:30,920
Pan has just started smoking.

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,940
A touch of oil in, all that around

13
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:36,560
and then just lay the steaks away, 
always away from me

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,560
and let the pan do the work.

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,540
That's the kind of noise you want to hear 
in the pan every time...that nice sear.

16
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,360
Again, a pair of tongs. 
Turn it over, very carefully.

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,300
Literally 30 seconds into the pan, 
you can see the color... beautiful.

18
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:52,760
That layer of fat on the back of the sirloin,

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,760
we're going to render that down as well.

20
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:56,480
That's it there.

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,640
So, hit that into the pan. 
Use the pan to your advantage.

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,460
Tilt the pan that all that hot fat,
olive oil run down the back,

23
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:05,020
and it starts to sear the steak
even better.

24
00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:06,360
We're going to put a little bit of garlic in.

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,360
Nice little flavor to the steaks.

26
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,060
Doesn't need to be peeled, 
just lightly crush

27
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:15,460
and then making some really 
nice flavor to the steak.

28
00:01:15,620 --> 00:01:18,300
Turning every minute to get 
that nice, even color.

29
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,380
If you're turning your steaks every minute, 
it starts to cook evenly.

30
00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:27,320
A little bit of thyme... It's really nice to get 
that nice, fragrant scent of thyme.

31
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:29,540
And a touch more.

32
00:01:29,860 --> 00:01:31,540
I quite like my steaks rare.

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,200
So, rare is here, opposite 
of the palm, at the top.

34
00:01:35,203 --> 00:01:38,363
Medium is there, and well done 
is at the top of your wrist.

35
00:01:38,363 --> 00:01:42,943
Now, I'm going to start off with 
my butter...good old knobs of butter.

36
00:01:42,943 --> 00:01:46,603
This is where the steaks starts 
to take on a completely different flavor.

37
00:01:46,603 --> 00:01:49,583
Tilt the pan, then just baste the steaks.

38
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:55,500
So that fried thyme, 
that garlic...nothing's burning.

39
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:57,460
That's why we started off 
with olive oil.

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,460
For the garlic, we sort of 
brush the garlic over.

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,860
Off with gas.

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,600
Take them out.

43
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:11,640
Beautiful.

44
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,300
Let them rest.

45
00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:15,020
And off.

46
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:18,660
Then from there, slice.

47
00:02:19,780 --> 00:02:22,180
Rare, going on to medium rare.

48
00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:26,060
Hmm...Delicious.
