From seasoning to sizzling, we\u2019ve broken it down into five simple steps. Whether you like it rare or well done, you\u2019ll have a beautifully seared, tender steak on your plate in under 15 minutes \u2013 no stress, no guesswork, just pure flavour.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Remove_the_fillet_steak_from_the_fridge\"><\/span><b>Step 1: Remove the fillet steak from the fridge<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Take your meat out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking it. This is really important, as bringing it to room temperature will give you a much more even cook!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Season_your_fillet_steak_for_maximum_flavour\"><\/span><b>Step 2: Season your fillet steak for maximum flavour<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Rub your steaks with a little vegetable oil, then season generously with salt on both sides. Salt doesn\u2019t just add flavour \u2013 it helps create that irresistible crust by drawing out surface moisture, which caramelises beautifully in the pan. Don\u2019t be shy with it \u2013 a good steak loves a good seasoning.<\/p>\n<p>Wondering how to season a fillet steak beyond the basics? A crack of black pepper adds gentle heat, while crushed garlic, smoked paprika or rosemary brings a bolder edge. Just keep it simple; the goal is to enhance the steak, not hide it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Get_your_pan_sizzling_hot\"><\/span><strong>Step 3: Get your pan sizzling hot!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While you\u2019re seasoning your steak to perfection, heat a large, dry wide-based pan until it\u2019s ripping hot! Then place your steak in the (very hot!) pan, and don\u2019t touch or move it while it cooks. This will help it develop a lovely golden brown crust.<\/p>\n<p><b>Top tip! <\/b>Fillet steaks are usually thicker than a sirloin or ribeye, so they take a little longer to finish cooking.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Master_the_different_cooking_times_for_the_best_steak\"><\/span><b>Step 4: Master the different cooking times for the best steak<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once your steak is golden brown, turn the temperature down so you keep cooking the steak without burning it. Turn the steak more regularly to prevent burning.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on how you like your steak, you will need to cook your steak in the pan for different times:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; For <b>rare<\/b>, cook for 3-4 minutes max on each side.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; For <b>medium-rare<\/b>, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; For <b>medium<\/b>, cook for 5-6 minutes on each side.<\/p>\n<p><b>Top tip!<\/b> Every steak will be slightly different in shape, size and texture, so cooking times will vary. If you notice one steak is a little thicker than the other, cook it for an extra 30 seconds in the pan on each side.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Rest_rest_and_more_rest\"><\/span><b>Step 5: Rest, rest and more rest!<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Rest your meat! Resist digging in straight away, as resting improves the flavour and juiciness of your steak. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with tin foil and set aside somewhere warm for at least 5 minutes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_It_a_Steak_Night_to_Remember\"><\/span><b>Make It a Steak Night to Remember<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now you\u2019ve mastered how to cook the perfect fillet steak, the real fun begins \u2014 how will you serve it?
