How do you cook your steak?
I have a few lovely lumps of fillet 
need some inspiration of what to cook them in/with to get the best flavour.
Normally just fry with a touch of butter, any ideas from the scoobynet chefs?

I prefer my fillet unadulterated
That said, a nice bit of melted stilton on top goes down a treat
And best cooked rare, nothing worse than seeing a well done bit of fillet, if you like it well done, stick with rump or sirloin.
All IMHO of cousre

Rub some black pepper into the steaks.
Heat your pan or griddle.
A little olive oil to stop the steaks sticking.
Cook both sides for a couple of minutes to taste.
Set aside.
Meanwhile chop a shallot finely.
Fry in a little olive oil (you can use the oil and juices from the steaks) until soft and turning in colour.
Add some crushed pepper corns.
Then add a little balsamic vinegar.
When this has evaporated add some brandy.
You can flame this if you like.
Then add cream and simmer and thicken until the sauce will stick to the back of a spoon.
Serve steaks and pour the sauce over them.
Pour a glass of your favourite red wine and enjoy.

I prefer my fillet thin, so sliced into approx half inch to one inch slices, pan very very hot (heat till smoking) then 30 seconds on each side. Slice meat thicker for rarer meat. I also like it on a hot cibatta with fried onions, cheese and sweet mustard

Agree with the butter comment. I ue a bit of olive oil, a clove of garlic and salt and pepper. Very hot pan, about 3 mins each side, leave to stand for 5 mins then serve. Simple, but delicious!Ns04
