I always cook steak this way! It's just like they do it at steak restaurants! Imported beef is tough and dry? No it's not! You're just not cooking it right!
What's the ichibo (culotte)? It's a part of the round, and there's only about 2 kilo of it per cow. Let's just call it sirloin!

I use an old worn out non-stick frying pan. Let the meat come to room temperature → cut the muscle fibers → salt and pepper →use a red hot frying pan → flambé the meat → rest the meat! That's it! If you want to grill a steak in a frying pan, this is the recipe for you. Wrap the steak in foil and let it rest to prevent the juices from running out! For 1 serving. Recipe by Silvy1978

Steps

1

This is domestic beef sirloin that was on sale! Whether you have fillet, round or even imported beef, you cook it the same way! If the meat was in the refrigerator, leave it out for about 20 minutes to let it come to room temperature.
2

Warm up the serving plates by putting them on top of a pot of boiling water. I used a soy sauce based steak sauce, so I kept it warm over hot water too.
3

Take the core sprout out of the garlic clove, and slice the clove about 1mm thick. You can omit the garlic if you prefer of course.
4

Melt the beef fat in a frying pan. If you don't have beef fat just use vegetable oil! (I recommend using a cast iron frying pan rather than a non-stick one.)
5

When the beef fat has melted, put the bottom of the frying pan on a wadded tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel to cool it down! This is to prevent the garlic from burning.
6

Add the garlic and cook it over low heat. Fry it slowly! If you don't have enough beef fat, just add some vegetable oil!
7

Turn the garlic slices over. Don't burn them!
8

When the garlic slices are nicely browned, take them out and drain them on paper towels.
9

Sirloin and rib roast have some sinew. Cut it in 3 to 5 places to sever them. If you don't do this the steak will become wavy! This is the back side by the way!
10

Pat the meat dry. Salt and pepper the meat on both sides. You can use regular salt and pepper!
11

Use the fat from Step 7. Heat up the frying pan until it start to smoke a lot. Use high heat! Don't be scared!
12

Throw in the steaks! Let's brown the surface! The front side of the steak is where if the fat side is facing up, the rounded side is to the right and the pointed side is to the left.
13

Pan fry for 1 to 2 minutes or so I think? When some juices start to come out, turn the steaks over!
14

Nice color right? This is the "good" or top side! Keep the heat high!
15

Immediately grab a bottle of wine like this... you can use sake instead!
16

Add it to the pan! Sizzle! Flames! It does flare up so be careful!
17

When the flames have died down, for rare steak remove it from the pan immediately. Let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing it.
18

To rest the meat, cover it with aluminium foil! Leave it on top of your cook top (in a warm place).
19

If you want well done steak, leave it in the pan for 1 minute after the flames have died down.
20

If you slice the meat right away the juices will come running out! By letting it rest the juices return back into the meat. Cut it into bite sized pieces.
21

Today we are eating the steak with chopsticks, so I arranged the slices so that you can see the cup sides. It's medium rare.
22

Today's garnie (garnish) is just simple mixed vegetables.
23

Transfer to a warmed serving plate!
24

Serve your favorite steak sauce on top or in a separate container. Top the steak with garlic chips.
25

It looks delicious! If you add some watercress or something you get full marks!
26

This cut is called "haneshita" (chuck flap tail) and there's only a little of it per animal...
27

This cut is called "tomo-sankaku" (tri chip) and is a tender part of the round...
29

Boom!!
