Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Modern Australian

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.

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat your grill or BBQ to medium-high.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The steaks should be cooked medium-rare and be neatly cross-hatched with marks from the grill.
  5. Use the thumb-to-finger rest for doneness, or check the interior of the meat with a meat thermometer.
  6. Transfer steaks to a warm plate and cover them loosely wit foil. Leave to rest for 4 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve with mustard or relish, or top with your favourite flavoured butter.
