Knowing how to nail your preferred steak temperature is key to achieving consistency. Remember, temperature equals doneness. So whether you’re aiming for a rare centre or a well-done one, there are a few straightforward principles that make all the difference. This easy-to-follow guide is filled with steak cooking techniques that removes any guesswork, ensuring you hit the mark every time.
Dry ageing enhances beef through a natural process where enzymes slowly tenderise the meat and deepen its flavour, often bringing out nutty, umami notes of the cut. While it might sound like something reserved for fine dining, it’s surprisingly achievable in a home kitchen. With the right tools and a bit of technique, you can bring the robust, concentrated flavour of dry-aged steak into your own kitchen.
Searing is the cornerstone to any great steak—it’s what gives that rich, golden crust while keeping the centre juicy. This essential method creates flavour and texture that can’t be replicated any other way. In this guide, we break down what you need to get the perfect sear, every time.
Letting your steak rest after cooking might seem minor, but it’s a vital step for keeping juices locked inside, resulting in a moist steak. As the meat settles, the heat continues to work its magic, helping to deliver a perfectly even cook. Our steak cooking techniques guide covers how long to rest your steak, and why this final step is so crucial to a perfectly cooked steak.
Grilling over flame infuses your steak with a smokiness and char that a gas stovetop simply just can’t do. The open flame adds intense flavour, and learning skills like managing heat zones, grill set-up and more, we dive into the essentials of outdoor cooking, so you’re able to harness the power of fire, and turn backyard barbecues into decadent feasts.
Pan-frying is simple, fast and accessible, and produces excellent results when done right. All you need is the right pan, proper heat, and a few key grilling techniques to bring out rich, caramelised flavour. With some insider know-how, we’ll show you how to deliver a steak that rivals that of restaurants—straight from your kitchen.
The right approach to cooking steak depends on your kitchen setup, your chosen cut, and what you’re aiming for in terms of flavour. Whether you’re after maximum char or slow, controlled cooking, every method has its perks, and its downsides. Factors like cook time and heat management all influence the final result. We’ll guide you in selecting the best method to match your preferences and equipment.
