HOW TO MAKE IT

How to cook beef

• Pat dry – use paper towels to pat the steaks dry to get a perfect sear and reduce oil splatter.

• Season generously with salt – just before cooking steaks, sprinkle both sides liberally with pepper

• Preheat the pan on medium and once hot add oil.

• Sear steaks – add steaks and sear each side 1-1.5 minutes until a brown crust has formed then use tongs to turn steaks on their sides and sear edges (30 second per edge). Total cooking time: ~3 minutes for 1.5cm thick.

• Remove steak and rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

• Keep fat from the pan to make garlic fried rice.

TIPS : how long to sear

For a 1-inch thick steak, the beef should cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare on a relatively high heat gas stove.

• Medium Rare (soft, dark pink inside): 51-53°C

• Medium (soft, some pink inside): 54-57°C

• Medium Well (very firm, no pink inside): 58-60°C

How to cook fried rice

• Slice cloves of garlic thinly.

• Heat the beef fat in a large frying pan over low-medium heat.

• Add the sliced garlic to the pan and cook gently for a few minutes until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic onto a dish lined with kitchen paper towel and set aside for serving.

• Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat with the beef fat.

• Add organic soy sauce to the pan from the edge and stir to distribute evenly.

• Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

• Add chopped spring onion and mix well with the rice.

• Transfer the garlic fried rice to a plate and sprinkle with the fried garlic on top for serving.

Optional: you can also add Grass-fed beef strips and chopped onions or red peppers to the pan while cooking the rice for added flavor and texture.
