Chefs Tips
1. Salt and pepper your steaks and leave uncovered in the refrigeratr overnight. Remove from refrigerator and leave at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking to "temper" the meat. This will ensure a nice crust, seasoning all the way through the meat and an even cooking temperature.
2. Use the one pan to cook your steaks and your sauce for extra flavour, cook steaks to your desired temperature, remove from the pan and cover with foil to let rest.
3. Pour out any remaining oil / fat in the pan, return to the heat and proceed with the recipe.
4. As you start to cook your sauce, scrape the bottom of your pan to dissolve the caramlized steak bits and get that good beefy flavour infused into your sauce.
