For the chefs -steak!

Hey,

I will be attempting some rump steak for tea tonight, I have cooked steak before but it has never been perfect.

What's the best way to cook a rump steak? I like it medium/medium rare.

Is it best to poor some oil in the pan or put it on the steak first? How about 'beating' the steak (hehe) before cooking it?

Oh and what's this about 'resting' time?

Cheers

Sounds good guys. Quick question, when it's 'resting' for about 5 minutes where do I put it? Just on a plate, because it will cool down?

Ok vie just eaten it, it was LOVELY!!

Hit it around first with a rolling pin then mixed up some 'mixed herbs' with some vegetable oil and basted it. Hot hot hot pan for about 2 mins 10secs each side, wrapped straight in tin foil for a few mins while I served the homecooked chips. Then served the steak!

It was nicely done on the outside, I was worried I had burn and ruined it, but I hadn't! I cut into it and it was the right amount of pink and soooooo juicy !

Cheers guys!
