  • Peppercorn sauce - A rich sauce made with crushed peppercorns, cream, stock and sometimes brandy. Our simple peppercorn sauce recipe guarantees the perfect steak sauce in minutes.
  • Mushroom sauce - A savoury sauce made by sautéing mushrooms in butter and combining them with cream, garlic, and sometimes a touch of wine
  • Diane sauce - A classic French-inspired sauce made with mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cream and brandy.
  • Gorgonzola sauce - A rich, creamy, cheesy sauce made with Gorgonzola (or another blue cheese), cream and butter.
Cooking Steak Timing Guide

Cooking Steak Timing Guide

How long to cook your steak all depends on the cut and thickness of your steak. However, for a high-quality, 2cm thick steak such as sirloin, rump, ribeye or fillet, the best way to cook is to grill or fry your steak. See our steak cooking timings guide below.

| Steak Doneness | How it Will Look | Cooking Time (per side) | |--------------------|------------------------------------------|-------------------------| | Rare | Red, shiny, very soft to touch | 1½ - 2 minutes | | Medium-Rare | Deep red/pink, soft and bouncy to touch | 2 - 3 minutes | | Medium | Pink in the middle, soft to firm to touch | 4 - 6 minutes | | Medium-Well Done | Light pink in the middle, firm to touch | 6 - 8 minutes | | Well Done | No pink, firm to touch | 9 - 10 minutes |

Our Senior Recipe Development Manager, Mimi Morley, suggests that you should always bring the steak to room temperature before cooking, for optimum results. Just before cooking, pat the steak dry with kitchen paper and season on both sides before adding to the pan, for optimum results.
