Fillet Steak Lidl

Protip: Salt the steak and leave it uncovered in the fridge for a minimum of an hour prior to cooking (bring to room temp just before cooking obviously). The longer it's left the better it gets. Absolutely delish.

Cooked 2 of these for dinner, along with half of the country,

Himself will only ever eat Fillet steak.

Took out of fridge to bring to room temp for an hour, when ready to cook, salt and fresh ground pepper both sides, flash fry, then cooked one for 4 mins & turned, threw in second one, 2 mins each side, finished first one off 4 mins, left to sit for 9 mins,

Himself got a delish pink medium, I got a rare one, such a treat.

So tasty, highly recommend,

I was always told to salt steak just before cooking, because salt draws water out of protein it can make it tough.

Nope. You need to let it sit after salting. If you leave it for a min of an hour the moisture that's pulled out soaks BACK into the steak and tenderises/flavours it. Leave it overnight uncovered for best results (regardless of what you might think it apparently an uncovered steak only loses about 5% moisture overnight and having tried it myself it was awesome).

Totally changed my steak eating life learning that lesson.

I got these today. The silver lining is that mushrooms were 39c! I also bought the little tub of pepper suave. It was lovely. Haven't bought fillet steaks in a while but at 4e each they were well worth it. Might go back tomorrow for more!
