Rub the steak all over with olive oil and once the frying pan is very hot, sear the steak on all sides for 2 minutes. Transfer the steak to a rack in a small roasting tin then place uncovered, into the hot oven and cook to your liking using the timings laid out below.Rare (blue) 6-8 minutes
Medium Rare 8-10 minutes
Medium (A Point) 12-14 minutes
Well Done 16-18 minutes Remove the steak from the oven and place it on a rack so the steak does not lie in its own juice. Cover with foil and leave to rest in a warm place for at least 10 minutes. Transfer the rested steak to a wooden board, cut the steak across the grain into ½ inch slices and transfer to warm plates; season with fine sea salt and fresh milled black pepper if desired.

To serve: make a sauce e.g. hollandaise or pepper, or prepare a simple lettuce heart salad dressed with good a vinaigrette.
