fillet steak medallions, charred broccoli & stilton recipe ingredients

  1. Bring the steak to room temperature.
  2. Preheat a griddle or heavy based frying pan until it sizzles when you add a drop of oil.
  3. Season the steak liberally with sea salt & massage with a little fat.
  4. Sear the medallions on both sides over high heat creating a rich, dark crust, approximately 2 minutes each side basting the steak with foaming butter.
  5. 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.
  6. Whilst the steak is resting, sear the broccoli in a very hot pan with a little schmaltz or oil seasoning with black pepper & sea salt.
