Easy Home-Cooking: Beef Scotch Fillet Steak

I love Australian meat products. They are always fresh and very tasty. They're not as gamey as the ones in Malaysia. Whenever J or I feel extra carnivorous that day, we will just go to the supermarket nearby and grab some ready-cut steaks. My favourites are T-Bone and Lamb Chops. I love lamb chops!!

Also, it's very easy to prepare steaks - cooking time will vary according to how you want your meat done. Usually, I will cook them for 4 minutes on each side for medium.


Fresh steak on a hot pan

I usually cook the steaks one at a time, mainly to avoid over-crowding the pan for even heat distribution. Not much oil is needed, in fact I merely rubbed the steak with some olive oil and then placed in on the hot pan.

Sizzling steak.

When the cooking time is nearly over, crack some black pepper and salt on top. Leave it for 10 minutes to let the juices within settle down. If you are impatient and cut into your steak immediately after cooking, the juices will run all over the places and the steak will tend to be dry. Serve it with buttery boiled potatoes and asparagus. *Smacks lips*
