Sliced medium-rare steak topped with chilli crisp

Chilli Crisp

Spooned over steak

Method

  1. 01

    Bring the steak to room temperature and pat it very dry. Salt generously.

  2. 02

    Sear in a screaming hot pan, turning every minute, until a deep crust forms.

  3. 03

    Rest for at least half the cooking time on a warm plate.

  4. 04

    Slice against the grain and lay it out on the resting juices.

  5. 05

    Stir the vinegar through the chilli crisp, spoon it along the slices and scatter with herbs.

Peddler's tip

Dress the steak after slicing, not before — the crisp softens on contact with heat.
