Steak will be perfect every time with Gordon Ramsay's searing technique

Celebrity chef has shared exactly how to make the perfect steak, and people can't thank him enough.

In a video, the chef sets out step-by-step instructions to help you recreate his 'perfect' in your kitchen at home, as he highlights some common steps people tend to miss out.

In his video, which has been shared all over TikTok, he says: "There's nothing better than a perfectly cooked seared steak.

"Today, I'm going to show you how to get the perfect sear on a steak and top it off with a delicious chimichurri served with mashed potato."

First of all, he says you need to make sure your pan is "piping hot".

While you wait, he says you should turn your attention to your steaks by removing them from the fridge 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.

He adds: "Whilst you're waiting for that, give it a really nice season. Be generous with the seasoning because we lose 30% of the seasoning, especially in the searing."

He is seen seasoning the top, bottom and sides of the steak before pressing the seasoning into the meat.

He says: "Once the steak is up to temp, now I've got the heat in my pan, I can turn down the gas, and start that beautiful sear."

Many people question how long they should leave their steak cooking for but it all comes down to the type, thickness and your personal taste.

In general, suggestions cooking a medium rare steak for two minutes on each side, and a well-done steak for about four to five minutes on each side.

The website reads: "Searing a steak until it gets a caramelised brown crust will give it lots of flavour. For this to happen, the pan and the fat need to be hot enough.

"The conventional way is to sear it on one side, then cook it for the same amount on the other side. This gives good results but the second side is never as nicely caramelised as the first.

"To build up an even crust on both sides, cook the steak for the total time stated in the recipe, but turn the steak every minute."

To check whether your steak is cooked, all your need to do is use your fingers to prod it.

"When rare it will feel soft, medium-rare will be lightly bouncy, and well-done will be much firmer," the instructions continue.

"Or a meat thermometer inserted into the centre to ensure it's done to your liking."

Commenting on one of Gordon Ramsay's video, one user said: "Made my entire house smell for two weeks after cooking a steak properly."

Another user added: "I've learned so many skills just by watching you over the years. Thank you Gordon! I've found a passion in cooking because of you."
