Method

For the T-bone

Step 1

Prepare your T-bone by taking it out of the fridge around 30 minutes before you plan to cook. Letting your beef come to room temperature will ensure it cooks evenly and to your desired doneness.

Step 2

Heat your grill, pan or barbecue on high heat.

Step 3

Generously salt your T-bone on both sides.

Step 4

Cook your T-bone for a few minutes on each side, turning once. If you’re using a meat thermometer – refer to the following list to measure the temperature for your desired doneness.

Rare: 52C°/125°F
Medium-rare: 55°C/130°F
Medium: 60°C/140°F
Medium-well: 66°C/150°F
Well done: 72°C/160°F

Step 5

Remove from the grill and cover. Let the steak rest for up to 10 minutes before serving.

For the Cafe de Paris butter
