Steps:
1. Cut it. Using a good sharp knife, cut a 350g steak and set the meat aside for an hour
2. Season it. Pour some vegetable oil with sea salt on a plate and take the meat and coat it evenly.
3. Fry it. Place the steak on a hot pan and cook for a minute on both sides. Seal the steak by cooking it on the edges and carry on cooking the steak for three minutes, rotating it on the pan. Allow another six minutes of cooking and add unsalted butter and thyme. Cook for an additional two minutes before placing the steak on a cooling rack.
4. Check it. To determine how the steak is cooked, gently touch your thumb to your index finger and the flesh at the base of your thumb. Use the same trick using the middle finger for medium rare and ring finger for medium. The little finger shows you well done.
5. Serve it. Once the meat has rested for about 4 minutes, use a sharp knife to cut the steak in two cm slices and season with salt. Add some colour and crunch with a nice fresh salad and enjoy with a nice glass of red wine. Bon appétit!
