Ingredients

Method

Remember to remove your beef crop steaks out of the packaging, pat dry and bring to room temperature
Pre heat your griddle or heavy based frying pan until it sizzles when you add a drop of oil
Season the meat just prior to cooking
Don't overcrowd the cooking base, a couple of medium sized steaks or per pan
Massage with a little duck or goose fat, creating a very thin layer over the meat
Cook over high heat turning the steak only once after a rich, golden crust has formed, reduce heat to medium when crust has formed
Cook 3 to 4 minutes each side for medium rare
Finish by adding a large knob of butter when frying or on the griddle
Leave to rest in a warm place at least 5 minutes before carving
The meat will become more firm as it cooks, gently press with your thumb, the more spring back you get the hotter the protein cells have expand which means the more well done your meat is, for a medium rare steak it should have a soft feel with a little spring back
