partly depends on what sort of steak it is
don't want it too rare for your first go, because rare texture is kind of weird if you aren't used to it

I had the most amazing bit of sirloin on Monday
I love our butchers.

Defo medium rare to medium then.
Needs a little bit more cooking to melt any fat running through it.

I second this.
Al knows about meat

I have a thing about fat and meat.
Urgh. Horrible stuff.

fat running through meat is different
that's what makes it taste good.

Yes,
it's very funny to see you eating your bacon with Crow next to you...

I know, it's disgusting, but he likes it, I don't, and neither of us like wasting food.

Yes, but seeing you feeding him
those little bits of whites is so, so funny.

Medium-rare
should be ok for a first time, but don't burn it or it'll only taste of charcoal, not meat.

^^What they said.
Also make sure you rest it well after cooking too (~15-20 mins at ~60-70degC), it relaxes the meat rendering it much more succulent!

15-20 minutes seems like too long for a single steak

(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 18 May 2011, 13:26, Reply)
I agree
five minutes, maybe up to ten if you've got the oven warm first.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 18 May 2011, 13:27, Reply)
guideline is half to 3/4 of cooking time I think
so no more than 10 minutes resting should be necessary I'd say

You chaps are probably right, I posted with I normally do for my favourite.
I like a highly-toasted fat ribeye though, so the extra time lets the otherwise fairly cool interior get a bit warm while staying pink ...

Mmmmm Rib-Eye.
I had some amazing Rib-Eye in Gaucho in Picadilly.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 18 May 2011, 13:41, Reply)
yeah, ribeye is a different thing altogether
