The steak was about 1½ inches thick, and as I like it rare I'd cooked it on a high heat for about 1½ minutes either side. It was perfectly done.
But as I was throwing away the packaging I glanced at the cooking instructions, and was amazed to read:
Place steak in a dry pan and cook over a high heat for 1 minute each side. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for a further 3-4 minutes each side (rare) 5-6 minutes each side (medium) 7-8 minutes each side (well done).
What?? A total cooking time for a rare steak of 8 - 10 minutes?

I've contacted them for comment, and I'll report back with their reply.
