To cook juicy, flavoursome steaks:
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before
cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of
oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time
will depend on the thickness of the steak and how cooked you
want it. Times may vary from about 2
– 8 minutes per side. Press
the steak to gauge how cooked it is
– the firmer it feels the more
‘well done’ it will be.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to
allow it to relax and become tender before serving.
For stir-frying
1. Choose a ceramic compatible flat-based wok or a large frying
pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should
be quick. If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several
smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep it warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the
cooking zone to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and
add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.
