Method

Remove your steak out of the packaging, pat dry and bring to room temperature.
Pre heat a griddle or heavy based frying pan large enough to hold the meat until it sizzles when you add a drop of oil.
Season the steak liberally with sea salt just prior to cooking & massage with a little goose or duck fat.
Sear the steak on all sides over high heat creating a rich, dark crust then reduce to medium heat.
Cook 6-7 minutes turning frequently then basting the steak with foaming butter for the final couple of minutes of cooking.
For a rare steak, press the steak with your thumb it should have a slight spring to touch & a core temperature of 50°C before resting.
Alternatively you can pop the steak into a preheated oven (after the initial charring steps) 200°C /180°C fan assisted (gas 6) for 8-10 minutes.
Leave to rest in a warm place for half the cooking time before carving.
