How to cook steak

The right cooking method for any type of meat depends on its thickness. For example, thinner steaks are best cooked over low heat, while thicker ones need higher temperatures.

Don't overcook them as they will lose flavor. And remember always to remove the steak from the pan when it's done - this way, you won't burn yourself.

Cooking times depend on the size of the steak and the desired degree of doneness. Here are some guidelines to help you get started:

Medium Rare: Cook until medium-rare, which is when the internal temperature reaches at least 145degF (63degC). This process takes between 3 - 5 minutes per side.

Medium: Cook until medium, which means the internal temp reaches 160degF (71degC). This typically takes 6 minutes per side.

You are done when the internal temperatures reach 180°F (82°C). This normally takes 8 to 12 minutes per side.
