There is a skill in cooking a steak on a griddle, especially if you want it to turn out well and tasty.
My technique is not perfect, but I get some good results.
Firstly I heat the pan, the heat will be the guide to whether I am cooking a rare, medium or well done steak, though it must be, even for a well done steak, quite hot.
I take the steak, preferably at room temperature and rub seasoning and oil into the steak. This is black pepper, some Italian herbs and olive oil.
I prefer using ribeye, but in the photo below I was using sirloin, as I can’t always get hold of ribeye.
I do not add oil to the griddle.
Once the pan is hot, I then griddle the steak.
This ensures I get the nice chargrill lines on my steak.
I serve the steak with some freshly cut lemon.
