Even the best chefs can cook the perfect steak a juicy challenge. Steaks are usually thin pieces of meat cook quickly dry out too quickly so they try tough and tasteless.
Use a heavy skillet or griddle over a hot plate. With an electric stove or grill you have less control over heat.
Step Prepare your steaks
Remove your steaks from the refrigerator - minutes BEFORE cooking. This allows them to come to room temperature making it easier to cook.
If your steaks are frozen this
Step Heat the pan
Heat the empty pan on the stove until hot. Now you can either add a little oil and your steaks or if you want to brush your steaks with oil and place in pan.
Sunflower canola or peanut oil is the best. Avoid oil if your steaks bitter.
Place the steaks in the pan away from you. If you are a beautiful soft but not fireworks sizzle than the heat of the pan is right.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step Cook to your liking
For a medium steak cook the first side for - minutes lightly reduce heat and cook an additional - minutes.
Using tongs turn steaks and cook another minutes.
To test how well the steak is ready press down with your fingers. Rare is soft well done will feel firm and the medium in between.
Step Let your steaks cooked
Resting the meat is just as important and cook the steaks let the juices are made again and moist and tender.
Remove your steaks from the pan with tongs and rests on a rack with foil and leave in a warm place - the oven is best for them. - minutes is enough.
Step Serve and enjoy
Warm your plate do the rest of the food on the plate and then the last steaks - you want them to stay warm.
Lay the table with a sharp steak knife designed to cut cleanly through the meat.
