Neven Maguire's Perfect Steak

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Pack of Simply Better 28 Day Matured Irish Angus Striploin Steaks
• Simply Better Cold Pressed Irish Rapeseed Oil
• 2-3 Garlic Cloves
• Sprig of Fresh Thyme
• Knob of Butter

To serve:

• Simply Better Irish Made Pepper Sauce
• Simply Better Hand Cut Irish Garlic Roasting Potatoes
• Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

METHOD

1. Remove the packaging from your Simply Better Irish Angus Steaks and allow the steaks to breathe at room temperature for a minimum of 10-15 minutes before cooking.
2. Drizzle a little rapeseed oil over the steaks and season with sea salt and black pepper just before cooking.
3. Preheat a heavy-based pan over a high heat. Sear the steaks on both sides, reduce the heat to medium and cook for time indicated below depending on your preference:
   RARE: 2 - 4 minutes each side
   MEDIUM: 4 - 5 minutes each side
   WELL DONE: 5 - 6 minutes each side
4. Add the garlic, thyme and a knob of butter to the pan close to the end of the cooking time and allow to foam a little. Use this to baste the steaks.
5. Transfer the steaks to a plate and leave to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving with the roasted tomatoes, Simply Better Pepper Sauce and Hand Cut Irish Garlic Roasting Potatoes.
