How To

How to cook your steak

The thickness of any meat will dictate the cooking method. Thicker steaks can be cooked on a low heat. Thicker steaks need to be cooked at higher temperatures.

They will lose their flavor if they are overcooked. And remember always to remove the steak from the pan when it's done - this way, you won't burn yourself.

Cooking times vary depending on the size and degree of doneness desired. Here are some guidelines:

Medium Rare: Cook the meat until it reaches medium rare (63°C). This will take between 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Medium: Cook to medium (or until the internal temperature reaches 160degF/71degC). This typically takes 6 minutes per side.

Well Done: Cook until well done, which means the internal temps reach 180degF (82degC). This normally takes 8 to 12 minutes per side.
