Steps:
- Bring to room temp: Take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to bring to room temperature.
- Dry steaks: Pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat skillet: Heat oil in a heavy based skillet over high heat until it is very hot - you should see smoke!
- Season: Sprinkle each side of the steak generously with salt and pepper, then immediately place in the skillet.
- Sear Side 1: Cook for 2 - 2.5 minutes until you get a great crust, then turn.
- Garlic Butter: Leave for 1 minute, then push steaks to one side and toss in butter, garlic and thyme. BE CAREFUL - the thyme will sputter!
- Baste: As soon as the butter is melted, continuously spoon the butter over the steak until it's cooked to your liking - 2 minutes in total for the 2nd side for medium rare (52C/125F, chart below for other doneness temps)
- Basting also renders fat on the side of the steak - use tongs to sear the edges at the end if you want it browned more.
- Rest: Transfer steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil, rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Serve steak with a bit of the butter from the skillet drizzled on top. Pictured in post with Crispy Smashed Potatoes.

BEEF FILLET STEAKS WITH PEPPER THYME SAUCE
I decided to have a treat the other night and buy some nice thick fillet steaks as we have not had a good steak in awhile. With all the food prices going up so dramatically this one-two time a week enjoyed cut of beef has now become one-two time a month affair, here's hoping food prices come down again soon. This is a simple recipe that pairs well with steak and does not require lots of effort, feel free to serve this with a cheaper cut of beef or with your favourite cut.

Steps:
- Heat half the oil in a large frying pan, cook beef on both sides, until cooked as desired. Transfer to a warm oven to keep warm.
- If like me you have very thick steaks I find I can not cook them to a medium rare on the stove, without burning the outside so I finish them off in the oven for about 15 Min's, on a higher heat setting.
- Heat remaining oil in same pan, add celery, onion and garlic, cook, stirring until vegetables soften.
- Add wine; stir until liquid is reduced by half, add cream, peppercorns and stock, bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 5 Min's or until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in thyme leaves, serve immediately over steak.
- I served mine over celeriac mash and a carrot casserole as a side but serve with your favourite veg and potato.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Opt for well-marbled, thick-cut fillet steaks for the best results.
- Don't overcook the steaks: Fillet steaks are best cooked rare or medium-rare to preserve their tenderness and flavor.
- Season the steaks generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme and garlic to enhance the flavor of the steaks.
- Sear the steaks in a hot pan: This will create a flavorful crust while keeping the inside of the steaks tender and juicy.
- Baste the steaks with butter: This will help keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
- Let the steaks rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
