This is exactly what I was looking for. A dry overcooked beef tasting like cheap olive oil and lemon. Thanks for sharing.

Ok several things wrong here. 1. The steak is still going to be cold 20 minutes after it leaves the fridge, you should really give it an hour. 2. It's better to season the steak with salt (pepper if you want) and oil the pan, but I don't have such a big problem with putting oil on the steak. 3. Make sure the pan is REALLY hot when you put the steak in. 4. Make sure the steak is thoroughly seared before you turn it. This depends on the cut and the thickness of the steak, "every 2 minutes" is not a general rule. 5. Turn it as little as possible. You want to turn it only often enough that it doesn't burn on either side and that it cooks through evenly. Again this depends on the cut/thickness. 6. When you have turned it for the first time, add a knob of butter and use this to baste the steak so the top doesn't dry out. I like to add garlic and thyme with my butter, although this is not necessary. Salt is the minimum seasoning, salt and pepper is fairly usual, and I wouldn't add more than what I do or you're detracting from the core flavour of the steak. 7. Take your steak out to rest when it's rare. There are multiple ways to tell when this is. Place it on a WARM plate and leave to rest for at LEAST 5 minutes (don't worry - it won't go cold, in fact, it will keep cooking a little). Once rested, your steak will be cooked through medium rare (generally acknowledged as the ideal steak) moist, tender and delicious. The resting juices can be added back into the pan and combined with the flavoured butter. This can be spooned over your meal or used as part of a sauce to serve with it. I prefer the former as I like steak to be quite simple so you can appreciate how good the meat is on its own. THE most important thing about steak is not even the cooking, it's making sure you have a good cut of meat. The flavour speaks for itself. Keep it simple. And for the LOVE OF GOD, DON'T put f*cking lemon or olive oil on your steak at the end. Lemon does NOT compliment steak as a flavour and the olive oil will serve only to make your steak greasy.

4min 20sec of my life I will never get back

Looks good, I might try it without the steak just to change things up.

Why make a vid on cooking a steak if you don't cut it open at the end?

It’s great they found someone so charismatic for the video.

We've come a long way in 9 years. We all watched people cooking steaks the wrong way for years. Then KZfaq and Guga came along and showed us how to do it right 😎😍

I like the way he cooked the steak so much and then I read the comments and then I realized I had no clue how to cook the steak

This guy is calm af.

This man should never be allowed to harm a steak ever again!

"Just a drizzle of good olive oil" Proceeds to bathe the steak in oil

How did Jamie Oliver become such a huge food star? WHo gets away with drizzling a steak with olive oil at the end and adding lemon?

"Now as the steaks resting, I'm just going to ruin the steak"

I come from south Greece and this is exactly how we make it. A lot of fresh and pure olive oil and lemon, of course..

i cooked mine in garlic butter medium rare and it went down lovely😀

More oil would give it a better color and a better crisp. You also want to fry that fat more so the flavors can enter the meat. The lack of seasoning, well, thats obvious.

He didn't show us the money shot. . . the slice through the steak

Qué bueno!!!...se ve riquísimo!!!... 😋😋🇧🇴👏👏👏 saludos desde Bolivia!!

All the recipes with Jamie are beautiful, just like him!

You play with your meat too much. No double entendre intended. When I was training to be a chef my mentor would have smacked my hand if I turned a steak as many times as you did. I personally have an issue with the finishing with lemon juice; but I know that is just my American sensibilities. I don't see citrus and beef going together. I am fair minded and will try it before making a final judgement.

I always watch this video to make myself feel better

I don't eat meat but my children asked if I could make them a steak for dinner. I watched this video so I could work out how to cook one and they loved the steak, so what he is saying and doing must work. Thank you for the video.

Standard size 3 quarter inch thick steak, rules apply: 2 minutes (1 min each side) - rare 4 minutes (2 min each side) - medium rare 6 minutes (3 min each side) - medium 8 minutes or more (4 min or more each side) - welldone/over cooked.

This guy sounds like jamie Oliver trying to recording a vídeo in the middle of the night and trying not to wake up everyone

If someone squeezed lemon juice on my steak I'd probably just slap them out of reflex.

Yum looks incredible!

Perfekt Jaimie, just the way I love it.🙂

Just tried this method, it was very good! Highly recommend

It's pretty funny how the most popular video on Jamie Oliver's channel isn't even him.

“Lift your steak up” that one killed me

Wow! Really great video! Thanks for sharing :)

Poorly executed. You definitely should be dropping butter there at the end so that you get a better color and finish to the steak. That looked awful. Also it didn't appear he seasoned it right....not to mention the lemon. Joke, really.

watching cooking videos at night is dangerous. Darn. Makes me hungry! Why people dislike this btw?

Multumesc frumos, salutări din România

Very iseful.great way of cooking...

How not to cook steak

Tried my steak with the lemon. At first I thought it would be a bad idea, but when I tried it, it was good. Thanks

I've just watched 6 'how a chef cooks a steak' videos. All top, well known chefs....and all of them do it differently to each other.

Jamie is the sole reason the olive oil industry is alive

Is it median or median rare....have no idea....he should have cut the steak so we can see it

Add more seasoning. Cook for 6 mins only. Melt a little fat from the steak in the pan BEFORE you add the steak (adds flavour). If you like, add a little garlic butter towards the end for flavour too. Don't add olive oil or LEMON to the steak at the end. Keep it simple - ENJOY!

Great I love Cheep....goid things! Like good olive oil...Simply love yr advice in cooking stuff

Tried it for the first time at home. Thank you, it came out good!

Why the oil at the end? I'd probably would rather put a little slice of butter on the center and let it melt over.

Looks delicious and sumptuous.

Very good and simple recipe...I just tried it and it turned out medium-rare as i wanted it...

The comments have me dying 😭

It must be said that I'm not much of a chef, but I've followed your instructions to the letter and the result was the nicest steak I've ever tasted - very good video and a lot simpler than I would have imagined but incredible results!

Thanks so much Jamie.

very cool! I'm glad I stumbled across this :-D

i might as well just serve myself a glass of olive oil to drink

I use a cast iron skillet to caramelize the steak, then stick the pan in a 500°f oven for the time it takes to reach medium rare. Remove from oven, remove from skillet and let rest for at least 5 minutes. The time in the oven will vary with the thickness of the steak.

No olive oil in the pan to cook and base the steak, but then proceeds to drizzle the entire US oil reserves all over the cooked steak? My man needs a change of career

고기를 굽기 전에 올리브유를 두르고 구운 후에도 올리브유를 두르네요 고기는 너무 맛있지요 요리법 감사해요 I put olive oil on it before I bake it. You put olive oil on it after it's baked. The meat is so delicious. Thank you for the recipe.

"a drizzle of olive oil" as he fucking drowns the thing.

ok guys i checked! This was *NOT* uploaded on April Fools day

Thank you. Must try it this way. looks good.

Very helpful video to learn to cook steak!

OMG... Jamie have you been living under a rock your whole life ? NEVER TURN A STEAK MORE THAN ONCE....

I made my 1st steak according to this video.(including the lemon juice) It was fantastic. Maybe simplicity is best.

I feel bad for that steak, it deserved better.

Theres so much oil the us army invaded the plate

I was screaming NOOOOOOOO in my head throughout the entire video.

no garlick. no onions. no butter. no rosemary. finish with olive oil and lemon. thats perfect...

I tried this and it turned out very good. GREAT TIP👍

I tried it and it is Super delicious

I know the benefits of Olive Oil, butter finishing it off with butter in the pan adds so much moisture - just my two pence :)

Lemon on a steak?!?! Yep you have been taught by Jamie Oliver

Gonna make one now! 🥩😋

This is helpful thanks 😊

Thanks so much for this idea! I've often had steak marinated in a bit of herbs, salt olive oil and a splash of fresh-squeezed orange juice 1-2 hours prior to cooking. I've never actually cooked it, my father does it, but I'm learning to make things myself. The marinade gives a lovely flavour so I'm curious about mixing it up with lemon instead. I'm surprised so many people are literally losing their minds over the idea of lemon juice on steak. Don't you realise all the popular steak sauces like HP, Heinz and A1 contain fruit flavouring from orange, lemon, tamarind, sultana, prune, etc? And honestly, my 3 year old niece is more polite and mature about accepting new foods than the majority of commenters here. Just because your mum didn't cook it that way doesn't mean it's wrong. Appreciate that they bothered posting the video for you, try it if you want or go on doing your old way. Save your rage and panic for the next time religious pamphleteers come by.

Why am I even watching this, I've been a vegetarian for 14 years LOL Am I nuts (yes) or is this soothing to watch?!

I think that steak looks delicious 😍

The amount of oil used towards the end was horrendous

Pete, the ultimate troll

Pete, I love the idea of using Lemon rather than Lime. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks 😋& Happy New Year 🎈🎆

Just cooked my first steak following this advice and it was delicious. Had loads of steaks before by the way, just never cooked myself. Don't understand the bad comments. Thank you Pete and Lidl :)

Nobody wants half the bottle of olive oil drizzled over their steak before they eat it!

For me i like wrapping my steak after cooking in my 1 week old brief and leave it for 2 minutes .. the result is awesome.

Thanks for the beautiful Video.

delicious steak quick and easy thank you for sharing

This don't seem right...

There is no right or wrong, you can do it the way you wanna do! Try it out and it might be nice for you.

No wonder Jamie Oliver's restaurants went out of business

thanks for arabic subtitle 👍

My idea of a good, heavy pan is a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. And for those who say that this isn't how you cook a steak, it actually is ... but it's one way out of many to cook a steak and have it turn out deliciously. And that's why the steak is among the more versatile food choices because of the variety of ways you can cook it into a great meal.

Looks very good.

I wonder if this is a Tfal cooking commercial. If it is, thank U! If it’s not, thank you. I was looking for just an easy peasy way to cook a couple pieces of small Strip Steak. Mine are 1” X 1/2” thick. This is a start. I will let you know how it tasted. PS: I remember 1” X 3/4” X 6” long with 6-7 in a package on sale for about $14 bucks and I thought that was a good price. Not that cost anymore. I could be wrong with price and amount but I remember the couple times I got it were a super deal. It’s been awhile. Thanks again

I've never seem lemon added to a sirloin steak after it was cooked. I wouldn't think those two flavors go together.

I watched this for the money shot. I got nothing but humour. What a funny video. "Drizzle with olive oil" had me dying lol

Nicely done, mmm steak.

Thank you very helpful video

Why do I keep watching food videos ahhhhhhh

Love me a good steak! Thanks for the simple recipe and instructions, *****

Love it
