Searing steak
To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:
1.
Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2.
Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3.
Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and thenlower the
meat onto the hot pan.
4.
Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak
and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge
how cooked it is – the firmer it feels the more 'well done' it will be.
5.
Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before
serving.

For stir-frying
1.
Choose an induction compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2.
Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities,
cook the food in several smaller batches.
3.
Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4.
Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
5.
Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower setting, return
the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6.
Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7.
Serve immediately.
