1 steak 2 sauces | Jamie Oliver recipes
I love his vigor in describing the cooking of the steak, here:
Get a frying pan, griddle pan or barbecue screaming hot and season both sides of your steaks with salt, pepper and a good drizzle of olive oil. Add the steaks to the pan or barbecue. Turn every minute and cook to your liking. I’m going to give you some rough timings, but use your intuition: a 200g steak about 2cm thick wants about 2 minutes each side for medium rare and 3 minutes each side for medium. As it cooks, whip the meat with the sprig of rosemary and rub it with the cut side of the garlic clove for some extra flavour. [my bold]
COMING SOON: I will make this and tell you how it turns out!

Great recipe. I would avoid the numerous turns of the steak as it tends to toughen. Cooking thoroughly on one side then turning to the second side may result in a more tender version of this recipe.

I’m not worried about it! With the SHORT total cooking time, you’re really only giving it a couple flips, much like you would to get the classic “grid” pattern of grill marks. Doesn’t seem excessive to me! :)
