   Heat the oil in a large skillet and when it is quite hot, add the steaks with salt and pepper to taste and cook over a fairly high heat, turning them every minute, until they are cooked for 6 minutes altogether (for rare), 8 minutes (for medium-rare), and 10 minutes (for well-done).

   Meanwhile, put the lemon juice and egg yolks in the container of a blender or food processor and add salt and pepper to taste.
