How To Cook The Perfect Steak

Frank Parkers guide to Cooking your perfect steak

Remove steaks from the fridge at least 15 minutes before cooking as this will enhance their tenderness after cooking. Always preheat the grill or pan before starting to cook the steak.

Rub the steak with oil on both sides and then season it with salt and black pepper. Try using groundnut oil as an alternative to other oils as it can withstand high temperatures without burning.

Don’t over handle the steak. Try to limit the turning to only once – halfway through cooking. Finally, allow the meat to rest  after cooking.
