How to cook a blue steak

Despite the common conception that a blue steak is very quick and easy to cook it can in fact take as long, or longer, to cook than even a well done steak and requires skillful cooking and preparation.

A blue steak is almost completely raw on the inside and is only lightly seared on the outside. The reason it takes so long to prepare is that the steak has to be brought very slowly up to a core temperature of 60C. This is often done under hot lights at the kitchen pass or in a very low oven. It can take 20 or 30 minutes to achieve this temperature especially for very thick cuts of meat, such as our 12oz fillet steak. The steak is then seasoned and cooked for a matter of seconds on a hot pan or flame grill.
