Bring the steak (thickness about 2.5cm) to room temperature, drain it with kitchen paper, sprinkle with sea salt, and press it with your hands. (It’s best to cook the steak the same day you buy it. Do not freeze it, and it is best not to wash it. I usually cut the fat into a piece and fry it in oil. Sprinkle it with salt and fry it immediately. Do not marinate to prevent water from coming out. Because I cook it last Black pepper juice, if not making juice, you can sprinkle black pepper powder at the same time) -

Put fat beef in a cast iron pot and fry until oil comes out. (You can also use olive oil for cooking. It is recommended to use a cast iron pan or a thick-bottomed pan for frying steak. It heats evenly and is not easy to burn. The frying is very beautiful. I also bought a cast iron pan for frying steak.) -

Put out the oil residue. -

Put in the steak and fry over medium-high heat for 1 minute on each side to quickly lock in the moisture. -
5
Add butter and garlic and fry over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. (Butter contains water. Putting butter at this time can lower the temperature of the pot and prevent the meat from burning, because the cast iron pot is heated evenly and has good heat retention) -

During this period, use a spoon to pour the oil in the pan over the steak to heat the surface. -

If you are not sure about the degree of doneness, you can use scissors to cut the thickest piece to see. -

Take it out of the pan and add the side dishes. For how to make potatoes, please see my recipe "Fried Potatoes", it is very delicious. (Don’t eat the steak immediately after it’s put on the plate. Cover it and simmer it for a few minutes to allow the steak to absorb the water. The water will not flow out when it is cut.) -

8 is for the son, and is probably the level of doneness acceptable to most Chinese people. (Fry both sides over medium-high heat for 1 minute each, then turn to medium-low heat and cook for 3 minutes on both sides.) -

How to make lazy black pepper sauce: 2 tablespoons of Lee Kum Kee black pepper sauce, 3 tablespoons of water, 1 teaspoon of sugar, mix well and bring to a boil. (My kids like to eat it with sauce. If they like the original flavor, they can skip this step.)
Tips
1. It is best not to wash the steak. Fried steak abroad is not washed. If you are really worried, rinse it quickly and absorb the water immediately with a dry towel or kitchen paper.
2. The firepower of each stove is different, adjust it slightly according to your own, so as not to burn it.
3. After the steak is fried and served on a plate, cover the lid and simmer for a few minutes. This will allow the steak to absorb the water and prevent the water from flowing out when cutting.
