There are many ways you can cook steak. One popular way to cook steak is to sear it on both sides on an oiled or butter-covered pan. Sear-roasting, while a more precise cooking technique than pan-frying and broiling is better, it's still not foolproof. This cooking method can result in steaks that are too cooked. Here are some tips to ensure a perfectly cooked steak.
Some people prefer their steak medium rare, but that is not a rule. Many people enjoy blue steaks. Blue steaks are generally well-done. The steaks should be cooked to your liking. Make sure you check the thickness of the meat, and that it is not flipped too often. You should avoid poking the steak with a fork, or your fingers. This will cause holes in the steak. Don't overcook the steak. This can lead to dry beef.
Allow the steak to rest after being grilled. Use tongs for browning the edges. Brush the steak with the rest of the butter left in the skillet. A few minutes of resting will help the steak retain its tenderness. Use a heavy-based, nonstick pan. You will get even cooking and less chance of getting hot spots. These methods will help you cook steak more evenly.
Sous vide cooking can also be used to cook steak. It involves placing it in boiling water at a temperature of liquid nitrogen for a certain time. This results in the best-coated steaks. It is however a strange method and you might need to ask a Michelin three-star chef for their approval. Sous vide is definitely worth a try if your goal is to get the best-quality steaks.
To cook steaks without adding fat, you can use butter instead of cooking oil or margarine. You can also season steaks with herbs or spices before pan-frying. Other alternatives to butter include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and rosemary. No matter which method you use, make sure that the oil is sufficient to coat the pan. Once the pan has reached the desired temperature, add the steak to the pan.
Marinating steaks in marinades can enhance its flavour and tenderize it. The best marinades include balsamic vinegar and honey. Also, you can drizzle olive oil over the steak and sprinkle some salt. Your steak should rest for at least five to ten mins before being served. This will keep it tender and juicy. You can then grill or broil your steak using these techniques.

How to make a perfect Omelette
Omelets are my favorite breakfast dish. But how do you create them perfectly? I've tried many recipes and different methods but none have worked. So I wanted to share some tips and tricks so that you can make delicious, fluffy omelets every morn.
When making omelets, it is important to be aware that eggs can be temperamental. The eggs must be fresh from an organic source and kept at room temperature until they are ready to be cooked. If you don't keep them cold enough, the whites won't form properly, and the yolks will break down too much and become runny. This will make your omelets appear strangely colored. If you intend to cook your eggs immediately, it's best to use room-temperature egg.
You might also try separating the egg before adding to the pan. It is important not to allow any white to mix with the yolk as this could lead to the omelet becoming curdled.
The egg can burn if it is placed directly on the stovetop. Instead, place the egg in the microwave for 10 second before you put it in the skillet. The microwave heat is sufficient to cook the egg without overcooking.
Next, let’s talk about mixing the egg. You want to mix the eggs thoroughly before you add them. To do this, take the bowl from the mixer and flip it upside-down. Next, shake the bowl vigorously. This will whip the air around the bowl and mix the egg well.
Now it's time to have fun: pour the milk into the mixture. Fold the eggs in the milk mixture by first pouring half of it into the egg whites. Do not worry if you see streaks of egg; they will disappear when the omelet is flipped.
After you have folded the eggs, heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil has started to sizzle, turn the heat down to low. Once the oil begins to heat, add 1/4 cup butter and swirl the pan to coat it. Open the lid and sprinkle salt on the pan. The salt will help to prevent the omelet's sticking to the pan.
Once the omelet has formed completely, cover the pan and let it set for a few minutes. Flip the omelet with a spatula, or flip it upside down. Cook the other half for another minute. Take the omelet out of the pan and immediately serve.
This recipe works best with whole milk, but skimmed milk also works.
