    Remove steak from packaging.

    Turn toward cooker.

    Address steak thus: "This is a grill. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaad thing."

    Eat steak.

    tbh it depends what kind of restaurant you are eating in and the cut of the meat.

    A good quality steak and a chef who knows what they are doing is all you need.

    I work in a restaurant, just your run of the mill pub chain type, but it still amazes me the amount of people who complain that their rump steak is tough or chewy. I always feel like saying - well what do you expect, order a better cut then!!
    Tho to be fair none of our steaks are the best quality anyways.....

    How to cook the perfect steak:

    Take large heavy pan, the heavier the better
    walk into field
    stun cow/bullock/bull (if yer 'ard enuf) with pan
    remove horns
    serve


    n.b if you have guests it's good form to wipe it's ar*e before serving.

    I actually got a very tasty rump steak in a Weatherspoons recently. It was cooked just how I like it- heated through but still red on the inside. I'm ashamed to say that I'm a recent convert to having my steak anything other than cooked to death, but I reckon the best way to do 'em is to sear both sides with a hot pan, then serve.

    I'm medium-rare kinda person. I used to chef at a pub restaurant and the amount of people that would order a 'very well done' steak and then proceed to moan about it was amazing.

    get frying pan....pour in spash of oil....butter is actually better...it completes the circle for me.....dairy product+cattle
    Light grill, and allow to heat up
    Take frying pan and butter and place on high heat........sear both sides of steak, 1 minute each side...

    then put under grill and cook to your likeing.

    On the whole I find that having seared both sides you only now need to grill one side....

    1 minutes for rare......3 for medium.....5 for well done.

    Thats for a typical small steak .

    I'm a rare man....Tumlbe really is a "wipe its arse, blow its nose and wheel it in here please" man seen it.....

    Heat griddle VERY HOT. Put steak down just enough to colour one side, flip it over and do the same! Nice. If using a griddle oil the steak. Aldo large amounts of black pepper. I love steak.
    Not around too often!

    Beefeater do a great steak, it has to be said. Can be spoiled if you overdo the sauce, but a few peppercorns don't do any harm! I like mine medium, so you can taste the iron but you don't get the blood all over your plate
