COOKING YOUR STEAK

● Remove the Scotch Beef PGI ribeye steak from the fridge at least 15 minutes before cooking. This will enhance tenderness after cooking.

● Griddle, grill or pan fry and always make sure the pan or grill is searingly hot before you start cooking – this will ensure the steak is sealed and the meat is caramelised.

● Pat with kitchen paper to ensure steak is dry before rubbing with oil on both sides.

● Season with salt and pepper.

● Different oils smoke (or haze) at different temperatures – rapeseed oil can be heated higher than olive oil and butter will burn at a comparatively low temperature.

● Don’t over handle the steak during cooking, try to limit turning to only once – halfway through cooking.

● You can add a knob of butter to the pan towards the end, if frying or griddling.

● Allow the meat to rest for at least 3 minutes after cooking.
