A Weeknight Steak

The pan does most of the work. Your job is to leave it alone.

For two

• 2 steaks, about 1 inch thick
• 1 tbsp neutral oil
• 1 tbsp butter, 2 garlic cloves and a few sprigs of thyme
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Take the steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry and salt them.
2. Preheat The Pan over medium-high heat for three minutes, then add the oil.
3. Lay the steaks down and leave them for three minutes. They lift easily once the crust has formed.
4. Turn them, add the butter, garlic and thyme, and spoon the butter over for two to three minutes.
5. Let them rest for five minutes before slicing.
