Cooks in: 40 minutes • Difficulty: Easy

1. Remove the steak from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature for at least an hour. Pat the steak dry with a piece of kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper.
2. Take a heavy frying or griddle pan which will comfortably fit the steak, add a good amount of oil, and heat the pan over a high heat.
3. When the oil is beginning to shimmer, turn the heat down to medium and carefully lay the steak into the pan. Cook for 8 minutes until deliciously golden on the underside, turn the steak over, and add the knob of butter. Cook for another 7 minutes, basting with the butter to enrich the steak, until golden brown on the underside, this will give you a medium-rare steak. Alternatively, place the steak into a pre-heated oven at 215°C after searing all over, for 12-15 minutes.
4. Remove the steak from the pan or oven, place on a sharing plate, and leave to rest for 10 minutes before carving to your liking.
