How To

How to cook a steak

The thickness of the meat determines the best cooking method. Thicker steaks, for example, are better cooked at low heat while thicker steaks require higher temperatures.

You should also ensure you don't overcook them because they'll lose flavor. Remember to take your steak out of the oven when it's done. You won't burn.

Cooking time will depend on the size of your steak and the desired level of doneness. Here are some general guidelines:

Medium Rare: Cook until medium rare, which means the internal temperature reaches 145degF (63degC). This should take between 3 and 5 min per side.

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

When done well, cook until the internal temperatures reach 180°F (82°C). This can take between 8-12 minutes per side.
