Indeed EO, like cooking a rump steak. Cover the blighter in oil, leave it until room temperature, get your griddle smoking hot (no oil, and I mean smoking hot, give it at least 5 mins on full blast), quickly coat steak with sea salt or fleur de sel, and fry the fecker 1 min each side (or longer if you are a girls blouse or a Grauniad reader).
Then most importantly, let it rest for 10 mins in a warm place before eating.
Will be tender and tasty.

Sometimes, a tremendously good cook will do something fantastic, then never be able to recreate the masterpiece. Maybe they should take lab notes, or video clips or something.
But it's a bit OT to go that far for a simple recipe.or so I thought.
About ten years ago, I was cooking for myself. I wanted an easy chille/ mince and onions type thing, and it came out the pan tasting brilliant. I saved a gob full for the missus and she was impressed.
Of course, I have never been able to recreate it ... till tonight
I must hasten to add that when I created this marvel all those years ago, I was pissed as a f@rt. Tonight, I admit that I had ten cans of fozzies before 'rediscovering' my masterpiece.
The ingrediants are the same, mince, spoon of oil, an onion, salt , pepper, an oxo cube, handfull of peas, handfull of corn, chille seeds, packet of chille mix
what matters is the temperature. doh
If you put the ingrediants into the frying pan and add the mix , mixed in with water, the temperature will never get above 100. i.e. it will boil. it will not fry.
If you put the ingredients in, and sprinkle the mix on without water, it wont boil, it will fry.
The whole thing cooks a lot hotter, binds differently , tastes different and the consistancy is different.
