I like this recipe, it says 390 calories per portion http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3246 ... isin-sauce

I know what you mean - a good piece of grass fed meat is expensive, bu cook it well and it is yummy! I always bring a steak to room temperature before cooking which means a couple of hours out of the fridge. You can marinate it if you like in just about any flavouring you fancy, although I usually just stick to a little oil and black pepper. I always blot the steak in kitchen roll before cooking, just to ensure it is dry. If you have a heavy grill pan with ridges that is ideal, but any good heavy frying pan will do . I heat it n high for about 3 minutes until it is as hot as hell, with no fat or oil, I rub a little oil on the steak to lubricate it and cook to taste - for me your steak would take about 1 minute to sear on the high heat on one side, then turn over and keep on high for 1 more minute, then turn down the heat to medium and cook to taste. for medium rare that will take approx. another 3-5 minutes. Do the finger test, still lots of give rare, bit of give medium, firm well done. Remove onto warmed plate and leave it alone, no prodding for about 3-4 minutes. That last bit is important, it will keep all the juices in. I add a good sprinkling of salt once I have seared it on one side, and don't find it makes the juices run out, but that is personal taste. if you are going low salt you can omit the salt. I also add a knob of butter to the pan at the end of cooking and pour the resulting "jus" over the cooked steak. Help ma boab, I'm off to gnaw on a bone!

and mind and use it for soup after you've gnawed it dhana!

Yum

I would heat a char grill pan; rub olive oil into the meat; bung it on for 3-4 minutes depending on how thick it is and how you like it; turn it and give it another 3-4 minutes. Rest it on a plate, covevered in foil. Add salt after cooking, when it's on your plate. Yum! I wish I was having sirloin steak!

Try this - it's a lovely way to do steak. http://fastdays.wordpress.com/2013/02/19/tagliata/ Enjoy!
