How to cook your 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.

Also, don't cook them too long as it will cause loss of flavor. Don't forget to take the steak out of the pan once it's finished. This will ensure that you don't burn your self.

The size and desired doneness of the steak will affect the cooking time. Here are some general guidelines:

Medium Rare: Cook till medium rare. This is when the internal temperature of the food reaches 145°F (63°C). This will take between 3 to 5 minutes per side.

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

Good Cooking: Cook the meat until it is done. This means that the internal temperature reaches 180F (82C). This can take between 8-12 minutes per side.
