Steak with semi dried tomato and caper butter FAQ:
For medium-rare beef fillets, cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. For medium, aim for 4-5 minutes per side, and for well-done, cook for 5-6 minutes. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
To check for doneness, you can use a meat thermometer: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done. Alternatively, you can use the touch test method.
You can substitute sun-dried tomatoes with roasted red peppers for a different flavor, though it will change the taste profile. If capers are unavailable, consider using green olives as an alternative.
Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The tomato and caper butter can also be stored separately in the fridge for about a week or frozen for longer storage.
A large skillet or frying pan is ideal for cooking the steaks, allowing enough space for even cooking. A cast-iron skillet works particularly well for achieving a good sear.
Cooking Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef fillets for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Make sure to pat the steaks dry before seasoning to ensure a good sear.
- Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before cooking for more even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to help achieve your desired doneness.
- Rest the steaks for a few minutes after cooking to let the juices redistribute.
