Every Aussie loves a great steak, but how exactly do you cook the perfect steak? Chef’s in restaurants have the luxury of top-tier kitchens with grills that can reach 1,600 degrees, unlike a home grill that tops out at 500\u2013600 degrees.<\/p>\n

Not every home cook can afford the pricey prime steaks you can find in a restaurant. With those things in mind, here are some tips for cooking the perfect steak at home.<\/p>\n

How to cook the perfect steak at home<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Choose the right meat<\/h3>\n

Steak should be well-marbled for a tenderer, juicier result. Ideally, it would be raised naturally with no antibiotics or hormones. Animals that are “finished” (raised the last 60\u201390 days) on corn or grain bulk up with fat and produce more highly marbled steaks.<\/p>\n

A Wagu T-bone will be the first choice or a rump if you’re on a budget.<\/p>\n

2. Make sure the steak is at room temperature<\/h3>\n

Take the steak out of the fridge or freezer in time to reach room temperature before cooking. This will ensure it will cook through evenly.<\/p>\n

Ensure the steak has been appropriately seasoned for your tastes.<\/p>\n

3. Allow your pan to get moderately hot<\/h3>\n

Once the pan reaches moderate heat, place the steak in the pan and cook until moisture or blood appears. Once this happens, you can turn your steak and cook the other side to the same level.<\/p>\n

4. Check the doneness of the steak<\/h3>\n

Medium-rare is the perfect steak. However, you’ll have your own tastes you’ll want to cook the perfect steak to when it comes to doneness<\/p>\n

To check the doneness, you’ll need to press the flesh.<\/p>\n
