Pepper Beef Steak
Here's a quick recipe for a delicious Pepper Beef Steak recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 kg Beef fillet
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 clove Garlic crushed
- 1 tbsp Thyme (optional)
- ¼ cup Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Lemon Pepper
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Take the beef fillets out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Clean steak, remove fat and cut 1 cm thick slices, then wash and drain.
- Place beef pieces flat on tray, sprinkle with salt, black pepper and lemon pepper. Turn each piece and sprinkle on the other side as well.
- Heat oil & butter in a large non-stick pan. Saute garlic in oil & butter until it's golden brown.
- Add fillets to the pan. For medium-rare, cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them.
- Flip the fillets, add thyme (if using). Cook for another 3-4 minutes, adjusting the time based on your desired doneness (see notes below).
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the fillets from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes or a green salad.
Notes
Check Doneness
- For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be about 130°F (54°C).
- For medium, aim for 140°F (60°C).
- For well-done, cook until it reaches 160°F (71°C) or higher.
