Cook the perfect steak in five steps

We’ve got the lowdown, step-by-step.

A NICE STEAK is hard to beat, but can be a little daunting to some to cook.

Don’t worry, we have your back. We’ve searched high and low to bring you all the best tips (and gifs and videos) you need to conquer that steak cooking once and for all.

Step 1

To start, roll your piece of beef in some cling film – this will help it to keep the shape later.

Now, cut off a nice piece there.

Step 4

Step 5

Bring it to your chopping board.  Leave it to sit for 5 minutes. This will allow all the juices to stay in the meat. Slice and serve.
