How to cook steak without burning it?

cooking steak in a frying pan





Steaks or chops about 25mm (1 inch) thick; the choice is yours.


Salt, pepper, garlic salt, or other spice.


Cooking oil.


Water and lemon juice.


Sometimes butter makes for a better steak.











[edit] StepsRinse steaks with cold water, pat dry, and then attack them with a table fork, stabbing them all over, turn over and attack the other side. Now sprinkle salt and pepper over one side and rub in well, using either your fingertips or the back of a spoon. Turn meat over and repeat on the other side.


Pour some cooking oil into a frying pan and heat up to medium heat, pack meat into pan and put a lid on it. Leave for one minute, remove from heat and wait until the sizzling stops before opening the lid. Flip meat over with a spatula or egg lifter, replace the lid and return to the heat for about ninety seconds.


Once again remove from heat, wait for sizzling to stop, lift lid, flip over, dust with just a hint of garlic salt or other spice of your liking, close the lid and return to the heat for five minutes. Remove from heat as before, wait for sizzling to stop, open lid, flip meat, dust that side with your spice and return to heat with lid on. Wait another five minutes, remove from heat and wait for sizzling to stop, take out your meat and eat.


This is the basic method and will ensure juicy, well-done steaks or chops. Cook for a shorter time if you want rarer meat.


Stabbing the meat with a fork makes channels in the meat, the ends of which are spread with seasoning when you rub it. These channels fill up with the juices of the meat.


Try it once and you will wonder why anyone uses any other method to cook steak or chops!











[edit] TipsIf the pan dries out, add a half cup of water to which a squeeze of lemon juice has been added, not more oil! Allow the water to evaporate away by opening the pan after the sizzling has stopped and holding it over the heat until it has all disappeared. Then close the lid and keep over the heat for about thirty seconds.


The reason for removing the pan from the heat and waiting for the sizzling to stop is to ensure that the cooking oil does not spatter all over the place and burn you.











[edit] WarningsThis technique produces an extremely well-done steak. Even changing the time of the second section to three minutes on each side may overcook your meat.


Most steak eaters do not prefer their steak well-done. If you are cooking for someone else, please check with them for their doneness preference before cooking your meat in this fashion. There are other ways to pan-fry a steak, leave it flavorful, and medium-rare to medium-well done.


If you want your steak fully cooked and tender remember to use less heat and add the water like the instructions say.


The addition of water at the end of this method essentially steams, boils, or poaches the steak, which can produce tough meat if care is not taken. The addition of papaya juice to the water will help tenderize the meat and add a delicious flavor.

It really depends on how rare/well done you want it. Heat a pan over medium heat with enough oil to just cover the bottom. The pan will be ready when you can sprinkle a little water on the pan and it sizzles. The first side should be cooked the longest - about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn over. Cook about 2 minutes. Take out and cut in the middle to see if it is done enough for your taste. If not, return it to the pan on the second side checking it every minute to see if it is ready..............Good luckHow to cook steak without burning it?
Put the oil on the steak and not in the pan. Get the pan hot. If you're very rich or from the USA or Australia, turn the steak when you see that the outside has changed colour about half way up. Then just leave it for about 3 minutes. Take the steak out of the pan and let it rest.





Lesser mortals who can't afford to buy gigantic steaks: Season and oil the steak. Pop it in the pan. When it starts to sizzle turn it and leave it for about 30 seconds. Let it rest before serving.
Over the years I have found the best cooking method for steak is short and blazing hot.





Okay, in a frying pan, some oil, about a teaspoon full will do.





Turn the heat up and wait until blue smoke is just coming off the oil.





Whack the steak into the pan, press down - turn over and do the same.





Do not fry for took long, otherwise you get something resembling and old leather boot to eat.





Other trick I always bash my steaks with a hammer first. This helps break up the meat fibres a bit before the fry thing, as described above.





Forget all that crap above... . .here's an expert.

Don't let the temperature get too high, about 300 degrees. sear the steak on one side for about 45 seconds then turn it to sear the other side, this will hold the juices inside, then cook it for a couple of minutes on each side or to the way you like your steak.
The most important thing is to remember that steak continues to cook AFTER you remove it from the heat (grill, pan, oven...whatever). So remove your steak before it is as done as you like it.






Don't have your heat too high.





I prefer to grill (broil) my steaks on rack in a pan about 150mm from the top element in the oven. About 4 minutes per side depending on thickness, for a medium steak.
You BBQ it, grill it, broil it or pan fry it. Sear it quickly on each side, then lower the heat and continue grilling until it's to the doneness that you like.....
Braze it for 2-4 minutes on each side then place it in a pre heated 450* oven 5 minute for rare 8 minutes for mid-rare and 12 minutes for well done.
In a frying pan on minimum heat frequently turning it. Try using a little cooking oil and and also chopped onion if you like it :)
Take it out of the pan before it goes black.
fry it or grill it is the easiest and fastest way.
Hot oil, a few minutes each side. Turning often.
