The Perfect Scotch Fillet
Ingredients
- 2 x 250g Scotch fillet steaks
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you want to eat.
Instructions
- Pre-heat your grill or BBQ to medium-high.
- Rub the steak all over lightly with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook over a medium-high heat for 2 minutes, then turn and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Turn again, this time at a 180-degree angle and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn for a final time and cook for 2 more minutes.
- The steaks should be cooked medium-rare and be neatly cross-hatched with marks from the grill.
- Use the thumb-to-finger rest for doneness, or check the interior of the meat with a meat thermometer.
- Transfer steaks to a warm plate and cover them loosely wit foil. Leave to rest for 4 minutes before serving.
- Serve with mustard or relish, or top with your favourite flavoured butter.
