Ingredients

  • 200-250 g Rib-Eye Beef Steak (room temperature)
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Oil (for frying)
  • 2 teaspoons Herb butter (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh chives chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Take the beef cut out of the fridge at least one hour before cooking, in order to bring it to room temperature.
    Pat dry the beef steak with a cloth or a paper towel, to get as much moisture out as possible, without squeezing. Add salt or desired spices.
  • Heat up the oil in a frying pan, really well. Lower the steak in the oil (careful, it will sizzle, so don't get splashed with the hot oil.)
  • Fry the steak on each side for about a minute. Then take it out of the pan and let rest for about 5-10 minutes. (Also take the oil off the heat)
  • Return the steak to the heated up, again, pan and fry on each side for another 1-1.5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cut.
  • Add freshly ground black pepper. And you are done! Serve with some herb butter and fresh chives or spring onion and a glass of dry red wine.
