Ingredients
- What you will need:
- 500g CHALMAR BEEF T-Bone, at room temperature
- 30ml (2T) Beef dripping (melted), or avocado oil

Instructions
- Method:
- To cook the steak, rub the steak with dripping/oil and the pepper. Heat a grill until smoking point hot and cook the steak for 2-3 minutes on one side until caramelised. Turn and cook for 2-3 minutes more, or to preference.
- Remove from the heat and loosely cover with some foil to rest for 5-10 minutes.

Notes
Chalmar Farm Kitchen advice:
Stay away from olive oil when cooking steaks because the cooking temperature will be too high for the oil, which would ultimately make it smoke. Beef dripping or avocado oil are better options.
