Cooking notes
I like my steak rare so cook it for a minute on each side, for medium rare cook for 1.5 minutes and for medium 2 minutes. These timings work with a very hot frying pan. If your frying pan is not hot you may need to cook the meat for slightly longer.
Adapting
If you don’t eat beef then you could do this with chicken or king prawns, you would just need to adjust the cooking times accordingly.
