Cooking guidelines from defrosted: carefully remove the steak from its packaging, pat dry with kitchen paper then allow the meat to come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

Pan fry: preheat a large heavy based frying or griddle pan, over a high heat. Once hot add a little oil to the pan or brush directly onto the steak. Season as desired just before adding to the pan. Cook the steaks to your liking following the recommended times: searing all over and turning gently occasionally.

Once you have achieved a good level of caramelisation you may need to lower the heat so as not to overdo the outer surfaces especially when cooking to medium and beyond.

Rare - medium rare: 4½ -5 minutes in total, rest for 6. Internal temperature 45- 52°C
Medium: 7-7½ minutes, in total, rest for 5. Internal temperature 55- 60°C
Well Done: 8-9 minutes, in total, rest for 1- 2 minute. Internal temperature 65-70°C
Remove from the pan, cover loosely with foil and rest in a warm place for the recommended time.

Cooking appliances vary in performance, these are guidelines only.

Low temperature
Cooking guidelines from defrosted: preheat the oven to 80°C and add a roasting tray to heat up. Bring the meat to room temperature, pat it dry and sear in a hot pan with a little oil for 5-6 minutes, until nicely caramelised. Season the meat well and set it on the preheated roasting tray.

Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat and set it to 60 - 65°C. Put the meat in the oven and keep the main part of the thermometer outside the door. Cook for 1- 1½ hours. Keep the oven door closed. When the thermometer bleeps, your steaks are ready - it's as simple as that. No need to rest - slice and serve straight away.
