All you need is some steak, and veg.

I have here some Fillet, broccoli and organic mushrooms. You can use any steak you like and any veg you like.

Season with salt and pepper, put some on the plate first then put the steak on, then season the other side. Don't need any olive oil since it will burn when you put it on the pan.

Heat the griddle pan until it is hot, put on the steak and don't touch it.

Wait for about 4/5 minutes and watch the sides cooking up.

Flip, and LEAVE it again

Now, make a cup of espresso :p (I needed my caffeine) or have a beer lol

After the steak is done, put it on a plate to rest. Put the mushrooms into the griddle pan, drizzle on some olive oil and just lightly fry them.

I even made some bechamel sauce (White sauce) with butter, flour and milk, season and added some cheese, added extra grounded pepper so it goes better with the steak. (I didn't take any pics coz actually this was the hardest part, you can't stop or you will burn the butter.)

This is a good video to watch to learn how to do it.

Steak needs to go in the oven (slight oiling before seasoning too) and olive oil shouldn't really be used for cooking, usually heat the oil first as well.
 
I've always rubbed olive oil into my steak before chucking in the pan. Does it cook just as well without?

I used to, and you can but I tend not to as in high heat the olive oil will burn. Please with a season griddle pan it doesn't stick anyway.

Looks good.. but white sauce and steak? Err, NO!

Truth is that i realise at the last minute i had no sauce to go with it, and with only the basic ingredients at home, white sauce was the quickest thing to put together. Another truth is that i have never done it before, I googled it and found that video and just did what it says...I didn't even have a scale so I did all the measurements on the fly by guessing straight into the pan lol It came out REALLY well. It goes well with the meal actually as I added more pepper to give it a kick, and the cheese goes with the steak.

While steak and cheese is a well known combo, I'd always preffer a nice pepper sauce on a good steak. Maybe that's just me?

White sauce is relatively straightforward to make, and yeah there are some great vids on youtube to help you out if you forget the sequence!
Used to add a bit of worcestershire sauce and nutmeg when I made mine, pretty easy to mix some maccaroni in there too.
