When done right, steak is f**king lovely, and provided you give it the proper care and attention, it’s not actually that difficult to do right.
Brush it with oil, coat it with salt and pepper, daub it with any other herbs or spices of your choosing, and then cook it for however long you like to get it where you want on the rare-to-well-done scale.
It often forms the key component of those eating challenges which people like to tackle from time to time, where they have to munch down on a frankly gargantuan cut of meat, along with all sorts of other things that go with it.
One of the beautiful things about steak is that it can be both an aspect of fine dining and the main ingredient of a lovely sandwich at the same time. Yes, steak truly is a wonderfully versatile thing.
