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 then lower 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 a ceramic 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 meats first, put it inside 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.
