How to cook a Steak

The right cooking method for any type of meat depends on its thickness. 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. Make sure to remove the steaks from the pan after it is done. This will help you avoid burning your skin.

Cooking times vary depending on the size and degree of doneness desired. Here are some guidelines:

Medium Rare: Cook to medium rare. This means that the internal temperature should reach 145degF (63degC). This can take anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Medium: Cook the meat until it reaches 160°F (71°C). This usually takes about 6 minutes per side.

Cook well until done. That means that the internal temp reaches 180degF (82degC). This takes between 8 and 12 minutes per side.
