For best results, ensure that your steak is at room temperature before it goes anywhere near a pan.

Rub it all over with good olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. 

(Contrary to popular belief, salt will not dehydrate the steak).  

How long you cook it for depends on how you like it cooked and the thickness of the steak. 

As a general rule of thumb, for an 8oz steak:

Blue - 1 minute each side

Rare - 1.5 minutes each side

Medium Rare - 2 minutes each side

Medium - 2.5 minutes each side

Medium Well - 3 minutes each side 

Well Done - About 4 to 5 minutes each side

Remember to let your steak rest for 5-10 minutes after it comes out of the pan. 

Resting the meat is crucially important.  When you cook a piece of meat the heat of the appliance pushes the juice out of the muscle towards the surface where some of it evaporates.  Resting allows the remaining juices to sink back into the meat and redistribute so you are left with a much more tender cut.

Keep refrigerated and use within 3 days of purchase. If freezing freeze on day of receipt.
