How to make MY recipe
1
Sliver of oil in pan and heat then add small cut onion to soften. Mix up an oxo or beef stock cube in a cup.
Add steaks to pan, as oil dries out spoon in some of the stock [tea spoon at a time] Just enough to stop sticking .
If steaks are a reasonable size, cook for a few minutes then turn and season with black pepper and salt. If you want to see how far it is cooked i.e. rare etc just pull the steak slightly apart with two forks. Remove steaks from pan and place in pre heated oven on warm plate to rest .
