Remove the meat from the fridge and bring to room temperature before cooking – just
like red wine it should be allowed to breathe! Always pre-heat the grill, griddle or
frying pan to high before cooking. Sear quickly for 2-3 minutes on each side.
If you like your steaks rare – remove after searing and allow to rest.
For medium – rare/medium – turn down the heat and cook a further 2-3 minutes on
each side depending on thickness.
For well done – cook a further 1-11/2 minutes on each side.
Turn as little as possible – and do not overcook. Resting is essential to have a succulent,
tender steak.
The shorter the cooking time – the longer the resting time
Resting allows the meat to relax after cooking. During searing, grilling or frying,
meat juices are drawn to the surface to combat the source of the heat.
Relaxing gives the juices time to go back into the meat so that it is juicy and succulent
all the way through.
Cooking Time Resting Time
Rare 2 1/2 minutes each side 6 minutes
Medium 4 minutes each side 4 minutes
Well Done 6 minutes on each side 1 minute
