After Cooking: Leave to rest and rub with a little extra virgin olive oil or garlic infused butter for an incredible, juicy steak.

- Marinate the steak in a good amount of olive oil, sea salt, black pepper and other preferred seasoning.
- Place the steak in the hot pan or BBQ. Cook for 6 minutes, turning every minute or 3 minutes per side, turning only once.
- For added flavour, place crushed garlic or a garlic clove halved into the pan with a knob of butter to increase the tenderness.
- Grab a few branches of rosemary dipped into the butter and drizzle onto the steak.
- Once finished cooking, rest the steak on a plate for 2 minutes and then carve up into desired portions and enjoy!
