Cooking the perfect steak is an art that requires knowing the subtleties and following the right techniques. Whether you prefer a light rare or a juicy medium rare, understanding the basic types of steak searing will help you achieve the results you want.
Types of steak searing:
- Blue Rare (Extra Rare) – meat is warmed to room temperature, lightly seared on the outside, and almost raw on the inside.
- Rare – meat is red inside, lightly crusted on the outside, still juicy.
- Medium Rare – the centre of the steak remains pink, with a light browning, the most popular degree.
- Medium – evenly cooked steak with a pink centre, no bloody juice.
- Medium Well – the meat is almost fully cooked, with a slight pink tinge inside.
- Well Done – fully cooked steak, with almost no juices.
Secrets of cooking a perfect steak
The main rule for cooking a perfect steak is to choose quality meat and to follow the correct temperature regimes. Meat should be at room temperature before grilling to ensure even browning. It is important not to turn the steak too often – once is enough to get a nice crust. Use salt and pepper just before grilling, and after cooking, let the steak ‘rest’ for a few minutes to allow the juices to spread evenly over the whole piece.
