Tip 1: this is how you fry the perfect steak! Take your purchased meat, in our case a large piece of tenderloin also called tournedos, out of the refrigerator about 2 hours before you fry the steak and let it come to room temperature. This is a very important part of the preparation process for the perfect tournedos. Tip 2: this is not how you fry the perfect steak! Steak frying tip! Did you know? If you take the meat straight from the fridge and leave it in hot butter, the steak will be shocked and the muscles will immediately contract, resulting in a tough steak, no matter how tender it is. In addition, the hot butter cools down so quickly that the tenderloin is left to simmer in the hot butter instead of the steak getting a nice crispy edge. Tip 3: this is how you cook the perfect steak! If you have a piece of tenderloin or steak, cut it into equal pieces so that frying is easier. The thickness is the most important thing here because of the even cooking of the steak. Tip 4: this is how you cook the perfect steak! How do you want the steak cooked? -If you want the tenderloin cooked raw, then it is about 1.5 minutes on both sides. -If you want the tenderloin cooked medium, then it is about 2 minutes on both sides. -If you want the tenderloin cooked well done, then it is about 3 to 4 minutes on both sides. Tip 5: this is how you cook the perfect steak! Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel, and sprinkle them with some salt and pepper to taste. Patting the meat dry ensures that the steak will fry immediately when it touches the hot butter and will not simmer in its own meat juices. Tip 6: This is how you fry the perfect steak! Use plenty of butter in the pan so that the sides of the tournedos also brown nicely. Add a few drops of oil to the butter, this prevents the butter from burning too quickly. By adding the oil, the butter will get a higher burning point. Oil burns at a much higher temperature. Tip 7: This is how you fry the perfect steak! Make sure the butter is hot enough that it is nicely brown and the brown ring pulls to the side of the pan. As soon as you see the butter bubbling, the butter has reached its highest burning point, this is the most important part for the perfect steak. Tip 8: This is how you fry the perfect steak! To fry a medium steak, fry the steak for 2 minutes on each side. Move it around the pan occasionally so that the butter has no chance to burn. Tip 9: This is how you cook the perfect steak! Remove the tenderloins from the pan, place them on a plate and cover them with a piece of aluminum foil so that the meat can recover and the meat becomes supple again. Let them recover for about 10 minutes. If you don't do this, you will immediately see what happens, the steak immediately loses its delicious meat juices and that is a shame.
