Roast the perfect steak like Jamie Oliver: crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside
Let's ask someone who is really expert in the field: celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.
The
British chef
,
known from television
, now also has a
YouTube channel
with an impressive 5.2 million followers.
There he shares recipes and cooking tips with his community.
The goal is clear: a steak should
be crispy on the outside
, but still
nice and juicy on the
inside
.
In his video, the popular TV chef uses a
grill pan
and a heavy lid with typical grill grooves.
The lid is not on the pan, but directly on the steak.
The meat is weighted on both sides and fried, making it particularly juicy.

Which meat to use for the perfect Jamie Oliver steak?
Jamie Oliver uses a
beef sirloin steak
.
One mistake many people make is buying super thin steaks from the supermarket.
Instead, he recommends buying a double steak for two from the butcher.
It should be about
four inches thick
.
This way you get the steak really crispy on the outside, while not searing it to death on the inside.
How to roast a perfect steak like celebrity chef Jamie Oliver
As a first step, the steak is rubbed with a little olive oil and seasoned with a lot of pepper.
Salt comes later after the meat has been sliced.
Now roll the meat back and forth with your hands so that a nice
pepper crust
forms.
The
grill pan
should preheat on the stove for four to five minutes so that it is really hot.
Now the steak comes in and the
lid is
right on top of the meat, weighing it down.
After a few minutes, the meat is turned and you can finish frying it as you like:
bloody, English, pink or well
done
.

Steak tips from the professionals: refine with herbs, let rest and cut
As a further tip, Jamie Oliver recommends adding herbs to the meat.
To do this, remove the lid halfway through the roasting time, take a bundle of
rosemary and thyme
and use it to wipe off some of the fat that the meat has given off.
You can now brush the steak with it.
It is also very important
to let
the steak
rest
on a
plate
after it comes out of the pan.
This allows the
meat juices
to return inside and make it extra juicy.
Next, the celebrity chef takes a
carving knife
and cuts the meat diagonally into thin slices.
He sprinkles a pinch of sea salt over it.
He places the steak strips back on the plate with meat juice.
Now it can be served.
Delicious potatoes and salad go well with this, for example.
