Beef steak

The question of how to cook beef steak is of interest to many meat lovers. The classic recipe for beef steak came to us from England in the 18th century. It would seem that you just need to fry the meat in a frying pan, but knowing some nuances, you will get a very tasty dish. Before you start cooking marbled beef steak at home, it is important to choose the right meat: the pulp should be young and tender. When cooked correctly, the inside of the pulp always remains juicy.

How to cook Beef steak

Step 1

Beef steak

Prepare the meat. Cut the meat into 1.5-2 cm thick steaks across the grain. Rinse each piece and dry well with a towel. In a separate bowl, mix the pepper, thyme and oregano. Rub each piece with the spice mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 2

Beef steak

Fry the meat. Fry each piece on high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side. Salt the steak before serving.

Beef steak - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute beef with other proteins like chicken breast or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian option. Adjust cooking times accordingly, as chicken may require longer cooking to ensure it's fully cooked, while mushrooms will need less time.
Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best quality, reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the steak tough.
Yes, you can prepare the seasoned, uncooked steaks up to a day in advance and keep them refrigerated. Cook them just before serving for the best texture. If you need to reheat, do so gently in a skillet to maintain tenderness.
This steak pairs well with roasted or mashed potatoes, a fresh green salad, or steamed vegetables like asparagus or green beans. For a hearty meal, add a side of garlic bread or a grain like quinoa or rice.
Yes, you can freeze cooked steak. Let it cool completely, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in a skillet over medium heat to restore some of the original texture.
To add more heat, increase the amount of black pepper or add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the spice rub. You can also serve the steak with a side of hot sauce or a spicy chimichurri sauce.
No problem! The recipe is flexible. If you're missing thyme or oregano, you can use dried Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence. Alternatively, a simple rub of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will still yield a flavorful steak.
Yes, you can. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the steak for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Cooking time may vary based on thickness.
