Letting Steak Rest
Ask a Question
We’re having steak tonight and my husband does all the cooking since I’ve become unsteady on my feet. I suggested he grill the steak then remove it a lay a piece of foil on top and cover with a tea towel.
He says it’ll be cold to eat.
How do you cook yours please?
On the rare occasions I have steak I follow the instructions on the pack (I usually get Sainsbury's fillet). Fry on both sides, after oiling the meat not the pan, and then in oven for 9 minutes and for my taste it is perfect every time.
I wouldn't normally put the oven on for one piece of steak but I use my smaller oven and also cook tomato, onion, mushrooms and jacket potato or chips.
MelissaLee1 I might suggest garlic mushrooms next time as they’re easy to do. Thanks
chefs as a trade are known To be highly skilled but hugely underpaid. good job we don’t do it for the money chef
I usually cook it to the time for medium on the packaging and then let it rest on a piece of kitchen towel for a few minutes.
In a George Foreman Grill around 4 mins, rest before serving , comes out really tender
All this talk of steak is making me hungry for a steak now with chips and peppered sauce, who’s cooking lol
Normally they say allow to rest, for half the cooking time, it’s so it relaxes and tender. It’s never cold as I’m sure you wouldn’t forget about it. Always make sure the steak is out of fridge at least half hour before cooking too.
I take the steak from the fridge to come back to room temperature, oil and season both sides and fry until medium, then let it stand for about 5 minutes, delicious.
