Steak with blood
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can use any cuts of beef for preparing a rare steak, depending on your taste preferences. Frying time depends on the meat's thickness, but to achieve the desired doneness, it's important not to overcook the steak in the pan. Serve hot.

Step 1
1. Of course, the meat must be of verified quality and as fresh as possible. In this version, filet mignon is used—the most tender fillet cut.

2. First, wash the beef and dry it thoroughly. Cut into thick pieces, about 4–4.5 centimeters. To ensure the bloody steak has a neat shape at home, it should be secured using ordinary clean string. This will prevent the meat from spreading out in the pan during frying.

3. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, and olive oil. I do not recommend using various spices when preparing rare steak, so as not to overpower the flavor of the meat itself. You can serve it with a sauce on the side. Using a brush, coat the meat on both sides and along the edges.

4. The ideal way to cook a steak is on a grill. With it, you can achieve perfectly cooked meat at any desired doneness. If you don't have a grill, an ordinary frying pan will work as well. After initial searing, the meat can also be transferred to the oven to finish cooking. However, in this case, it's quite difficult to monitor the doneness accurately. You should cook the steak for about 4–6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the cut.
