I could of course tell you how to cook a steak but I don’t think any written recipe can truly teach you how to make a steak to your preference. Certain videos and tips and tricks can assist but it feels so much easier to just practice until you perfect it.

But I wanted to share it because so many people save steak for a special occasion or a weekend thing when doing it during the middle of the week isn’t too much time or effort. I chopped up some potatoes and put them in the airfryer and adding some green beans later on.

Meanwhile I started some mushrooms a frying pan, this helped me to get the pan to the right temperature, and then I added the steak in. I usually take the mushrooms out before the steak finishes getting to a rare to medium rare. And as the steak is starting to cook and it’s time to turn over I’ll usually take the fat off to make it easier to render (but I still eat it!).

And then I opened up some Lidl Malbec and had a glass on the side. How fancy and grown up for a Wednesday night meal!
