Steak Buffers Guide

  • Step One:

Bring the steaks to room temperature by taking them out of the fridge at least two hours before you plan on cooking them.

  • Step Two:

Oil and season the steak and get a heavy griddle pan smoking hot. Lay the Aberdeen Angus steak onto the griddle pan.

Allow the meat to get a lovely dark crust before turning over – remember more colour gives more flavours!

  • Step Three:

To cook the steak to the right temperature, use a meat thermometer; 40°C for rare, 50°C for medium…and no, we don’t do well done!

  • Step Four:

Remove the steak from the pan and allow it to rest for about five minutes. This allows the muscle to relax and gives you a far juicier eating experience.
