Looks good, but your first choice of steak should be bavette, try it if you haven't before.

If you want decent steak I’d suggest not buying it from a supermarket, particularly not a budget one.

And, rather than smoke the house out, why not barbecue it?

Don’t use the extra virgin for cooking, go for a higher smoke point oil.

Other than that, looks pretty much how I cook my steaks. Can’t beat a smoking griddle.

Well done for trying Op. One day you might actually cook it too
biggrin

Nah, only kidding. I do like mine more towards medium but I like your style - none of the fear and faffing, just bloody get on with cooking it!

Steak looks good OP, the griddle thing, I know cooking a steak on a cast iron griddle is a great way to cook a steak but it is a monumental faff to clean up afterwards, along with stinking the house out too, I just don't think it's worth the hassle.

As OP, but with a normal frying pan. 2:30 on both sides, timed on my phone. (M-R) Fantastic.

Usually it's the pepper that smokes the house out.

I like mine in Ciabatta, with ketchup, and onions, and sometimes mustard.

I use a cast iron griddle to cook steak, I put the extractor on full wack and open the back door, you get a bit of a smell in the kitchen but it not bad.


After once the pan has cooled I give the pan a quick wipe and bung it in the cupboard.
