   Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan, allowing the pan to get nice and hot. Add 1tsp olive oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot add in the 2 fillet steaks. Fry over medium heat for 5 minutes, then turn over to brown the other side, frying for a further 5-10 minutes, depending on how you want your steak done.
