French-style steak
Description
Here is an excellent option for a hearty lunch or dinner, or even as a main dish for a festive table. Cooking a French-style steak at home is quite simple, and you can adjust the doneness to your taste. 1. First, wash the meat and thoroughly pat it dry with a paper towel. 2. Pour a little olive oil into a skillet and use a brush or paper towel to spread it evenly across the surface. Heat the skillet well. 3. When the meat hits the pan, it should start sizzling immediately—this is what helps keep the steak pink inside. 4. Sear over high heat for about two minutes, then add a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried garlic. 5. Flip the steak and cook on the other side. 6. Pour in a little dry wine and add dried herbs to taste. 7. During cooking, baste the meat with the released juices. 8. For a richer aroma, you can add a couple of whole garlic cloves, a bit of whole-grain mustard, and some cream to the French-style steak recipe. Cooking time depends on your desired level of doneness. For well-done meat, it's best to cover the skillet with a lid.
