1) Slaughter high quality beast

2) Hang for 28 days to mature

3) Butcher correctly

4) Place 1" deep slice on hot griddle for 3 minutes - Do NOT touch - especially banging, proding, pressing etc .. LEAVE IT ALONE !!

5) Turn over for another 3 minutes and leave alone

6) Remove from heat and allow to rest for 2 minutes.

7) Serve and enjoy ( this will still be very rare ... correct term is "blue"  )

that sounds perfect  nothing like good steak cooked just right

Unfortunately a 'medium' steak is open to a lot of interpretation, and I've had anything from charcoal to a living piece of meat under that description 

There's nothing like a perfectly cooked steak though, I've had some absolutely delicious fillet steaks from places nearby, they're just not big enough

Best steak I've ever had was reindeer steak in Oslo at a mid-priced restaurant.. it just dissolved on your tongue, gorgeous.

Reindeer .....Yum, I find Costco 28 day rump steak to be superb! £13 for 3 big slabs of the bugger

best steak yer can have is as entwood said blue,but when i say blue i mean raw meat and a hot rock so you basically just warm it up and you are eating raw meat

I wont eat steak or any other meat if it isnt cooked right through.

Over cooked steak is a buggered steak, got to be very pink and lots of juice - even a bit bloody

I was a vegetarian for many years, although an old girlfriend at the time loved a bit of steak.

As per Entwoods post! Thats a proper steak, anything else is a waste of good meat! It wastes all the goodness and taste when even done medium. When I get the ferry to or from France I always ask for a rare steak and as the galley crew are usually French you get a proper, good blue steak, yummy, schlurp!

Best place to get good steak is from local butchers or local farm market/shop. Used to go out with a lassie years ago who worked in local slaughterhouse and would get the whole fillet of steak for £17!

I only seem to get a good steak if I braise it with onions, mushrooms, herbs and wine and let it sit there for a long time.......

Ahh .. Brittany Ferries .. "Entrecote Bleu s'il vous plait" ... my holiday has now officially started

As a matter of interest - well might be to some - many restaurants, especially high turn over ones, "pre-cook" steaks to just over rare and place to one side. When a customer asks for a medium or well done one of these is used as it speeds up the service time ... but you are getting a steak that has been cooked twice ... no wonder they taste like shoe leather.

A "blue" or "rare" steak cannot be treated this way so is always freshly cooked.

Or the Sea France ferries lol!

And on another side note to Entwoods post, most supermarkets and pubs/restuarants buy their meat in from abroad and its not really proper steak! Just google zebu.....
