The Perfect STEAK Made Easy - part 1

... Hi there!

Here I posted some useful tips when you cooking a steak.

BEFORE COOKING:

- Only buy steaks of even thickness, not 'wedge shaped'.
- Steaks should be at least 20mm thick.
- Always defrost steaks in fridge if frozen. That means no 'running water'.
- If using pan, it should be heavy based.
- Heat pan, grill or BBQ to hot before putting steaks on.
- There should always be plenty of sizzle when cooking steaks.

COOKING VERY THICK STEAKS:

- Brown all sides in a hot pan.
- Slightly reduce heat and cook as required.

COOKING:

- Test when to take out of the pan by using the back of the tongs or a steak thermometer to measure the temperature in the middle of the steak.

- Do not poke, prod or pierce as this will dry out the steak.
