4. Lemon juice and water

Once you have gathered all the ingredients together, follow these steps to make your steak.

1. Take care to wash each piece of steak properly before cooking. Dry the steak and then puncture it on all sides with a fork. Then apply some salt and pepper and rub it completely into the steak.

2. Heat up your frying pan and pour in your cooking oil. Wait until the pan is medium hot, and then place your steak into the pan. Make sure that it is covered with a lid. Cook the steak for about a minute, and then remove it from the heat. Once the sizzling stops, remove the lid and flip the steak over. Recover the pan with the lid and cook for a few more minutes.

3. Remove the lid and add in some garlic, salt, lemon juice and water. Cover the pan, and cook the steak for another ten minutes. Turn it occasionally to make sure the steak is properly cooked on all sides. When the meat is done, remove the lid and allow the steak to cool.

4. A cooked steak needs to rest for a few minutes after cooking. If you cut into the steak too early, the meat will lose a lot of moisture.

5. Make sure to cut the steak across the grain. Cutting with the grain makes the steak harder to chew.
