Cooking a steak in a frying pan?!
Hi everyone!. I don't have a grill so I have to cook my steaks in a frying pan!. My husband likes them well done!. On a standard stove of medium heat, how many minutes on each side should give me a well done steak!? I'll be cooking it with a little butter, salt/pepper, and garlic, if you wanted to know!.
Thanks in advance!Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is a better way than giving a time which depends on so many factors: type of pan, size and thickness of steak, moisture content of steak, heat of flame etc etc etc
If you instead, use your hands to feel how soft/firm the steak is and compare it to your own hand!. Press the fleshy part of your palm beneath the thumb - this is what a rare steak feels like!. Then put your thumb between index and middle finger and press the same place!. Notice it feels a little firmer - this is medium-rare!. Move your thumb again between middle and ring finger!. This is medium!. For well-done move it to between ring finger and little finger!. This is a tried and tested method and much more accurate than using a set time!.
N!.B!. Remember to let the steaks rest so that they have time to reabsorb their juices and flavour!.
Hope that helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com

it all depends on the thickness of the steak and the cut!.
in general you just get the pan to a descent temperature on full heat and sear the sides of the steak!. then lower the heat to medium temperature and keep turning the steak every few minutes!. the only way to know for sure is either giving it a cut and checking or getting a roasting fork that can measure the inner temperatureWww@FoodAQ@Com
