I’ve pic but any tips on how you’re all cooking these steaks?

I like mine medium rare but I find it difficult to tell when it’s ready and can’t tell unless I cut through it to look.

What heat?
What do you cook it in?
How long each side?

Thanks

These work for me.

Heat = High
Oven = Medium
Cooked in = Griddle pan - Lidded frying pan
How long = Dependant on steak size. Finger tests Click here
When is it ready = How much bounce/spring/firmness/squidgy does it have. You get a feel after a while with all steaks when pushing down with tools or fingers.
  

Griddle: Hot pan, oil on steak (seasoning if required) place steak into hot griddle and push down to seal and get them lines. Large steak would, for me, be around 8-12 minutes. I do sometimes place the griddle into a hot oven to finish for another 5 odd minutes.Lidded fryer: Hot pan, oil on steak (seasoning if required) and again place steak into hot pan and push down to seal. I like a decent cut quite rare, so a few minutes after sealing I will lid the pan and place in the oven for 10 minutes.

Gordon Ramsay did a good YouTube video on cooking a steak IMHO, I find it works for me:

Why’s he using all that oil? Nothing worse than an oily steak. I don’t use butter either. Just season, hot pan & a couple of mins each side for a thick cut rare/medium rare for me.

Why’s he putting cooked steak on the same board he just took raw steak from too?

Rump:

                                                                               

Remove as much waste as possible and pat dry.

                                                                               

Leave steak at room temperature for 30 minutes and cut 2 thick wedges of English onion.

                                                                               

Season: Cracked pepper, salt and whole cloves of garlic.

                                                                               

Place steak & onion into hot pan and seal each side and cook for 3/5 minutes a side.
Rest for 5 minutes and throw on plate, open wine and enjoy.

                                                                               

After it is eaten make notes to buy salad next time.
