Grilled fillet steak with olive oil and seasoning

Grilled fillet steak is a classic dish that exemplifies simplicity and sophistication. With high-quality beef and minimal seasoning, you can create a meal that is both flavorful and elegant. In this recipe, we'll guide you through the steps to perfectly grill a beef fillet steak using just olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Ingredients:

6 oz beef fillet
170g
1 tsp salt
6g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Remove the beef fillet steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
2. Seasoning:
- Sprinkle the salt evenly over both sides of the steak.
- Follow with a sprinkle of black pepper, ensuring it's evenly distributed on both sides.
3. Olive Oil:
- Drizzle the olive oil over the steak and rub it in using your hands. Make sure the steak is evenly coated with the oil; this will help in achieving a nice sear and prevent sticking on the grill.
4. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to high heat. The temperature should be around 450-500°F (232-260°C) to get a good sear on the steak.
5. Grilling:
- Once the grill is preheated, place the steak on the grill. You should hear a sizzling sound.
- Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving it. This will help to develop a nice crust.
- Flip the steak using tongs. Grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness:
- Rare: 3-4 minutes per side
- Medium-Rare: 4-5 minutes per side
- Medium: 5-6 minutes per side
- Well-Done: 6-7 minutes per side
6. Rest the Steak:
- Once the steak is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a plate and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.
7. Serving:
- Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy it with your favorite sides or a simple salad.

Tips:

- 1. Let your steak reach room temperature before grilling – this ensures even cooking.

- 2. Preheat your grill to high heat to achieve a perfect sear on the steak.

- 3. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness – aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

- 4. Let the steak rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.

Grilling a fillet steak is straightforward and, with a few basic ingredients, you can achieve a truly impressive dish. By following these steps and tips, you'll ensure your steak is cooked to perfection, and your dining experience is elevated. Enjoy your deliciously tender and flavorful grilled fillet steak!
