remove the steak from the fridge at least an hour before cooking

season the steak on both sides just before cooking

on a medium heat melt the butter in your pan

let the butter foam until it is nut brown

put the steak into the pan and turn the heat up slightly

after 1 minute for a rare steak, 2 minutes for a medium rare steak and 3-4 minutes for a medium steak, turn the steak over and turn up the heat slightly

cook the steak for the same amount of time per side, then add the hot water to the pan

immediately remove the steak and allow to rest while the jus forms

lower the heat and scrape all the caramelized deposits into the jus

The steak I made was topped with some truffles which I brought back with me from Umbria
