Not So Great Steak

It does seems as if my ability at grilling steak is taking a downturn. Recently, it's been coming out a little rare.

Can it be the new grill pan needs longer to heat up and conducts heat slower compared to the old aluminium frying pan? This requires some investigation.

But not a bad thing, because I reckon with some tweaking, the grill pan should get a pretty decent char. I reckon the slower cooking also means that I can finish the cooking on the pan rather than in the oven.

Taking the steak out of the fridge just before cooking might also result in a longer cooking time. Not a bad thing too. That means more time to char the outside.

Note to self:

• Take the steak out of the fridge just before cooking
• Make sure the grill is smoking
• To finish, turn the fire lower and leave it in the grill?
  

Okay... experimentation time...
