Frying pan on the right: steak on the leftAs a long-time fan of Gordon Ramsay, let it be known that I write this with due trepidation. The multiple Michelin star-awarded chef takes both steaks, and claims that us mere plebs have made his steaks, pretty seriously – he often posts TikTok reactions to recreations of his iconic recipes. All of which is to say, I know I have not quite reached the level Chef Ramsay achieved in his video detailing how to cook a perfect steak. I did not use the bone-in ribeye Gordon wielded like a mallet at the start of the clip, for instance.I didn’t accompany my meagre meat with a fresh, fragrant chimichurri either (instead, it sat on some miso and leek butterbeans I’m not sure the chef would approve of).But I did use the basic fundamentals the chef recommended, and I feel they led to, if not a Ramsay-level result, certainly one of the best steaks I’ve made.<
