How many times do you want to order a steak?

When eating Western food, steak is one of the dishes we must order, when we order steak in a Western restaurant, the waiter will ask us how rare we need, this time many friends are directly confused, steak is not fried cooked?

How can there be a difference between a few minutes and a few minutes, it is not clear how to choose, so it is necessary to know how many minutes to order steak!

You should know that there are 6 levels of raw and cooked steak, and the distinction in the middle is made by odd numbers, so don't say even numbers:

Very rare: the frying time is less than 3 minutes, which retains the original flavor of the steak to the maximum extent, the meat is extremely tender and juicy, retaining the blood color, and the inside is still raw meat.

First rare: under 4 minutes of searing time, charred on the outside, red meat inside, hot in the mouth, blood on the cut, tender and juicy.

Third-rare: frying time 6-8 minutes, completely hot from inside to outside, internal temperature about 50 degrees, a little blood when cut.

Medium rare: 8 to 10 minutes of frying time, except for the middle part where the meat is pink in color, the rest of the meat is browned from the grill, with brown juices after cutting, less tender and layered texture.

Seventh-rare: grilling time 10 to 12 minutes, center part appears gray-brown mixed with a little pink, brown gravy flows when cut, chewy.

Fully cooked: 12-15 minutes, the whole steak is fully cooked, caramelized and juicy.

After understanding the standards of steak maturity, you can choose the steak that suits your own personal preference for maturity, but many people wonder why western restaurants don't give a table of steak maturity for us to choose properly.

The fried egg next to the steak

After the steak is served, people will find a fried egg next to the steak and it is still a “half-finished product” and they don't know whether they should eat it or not, and asking the waiter should make a joke again! In fact, about this “half-finished ” fried egg eating method is to be careful! People have a variety of ways to eat to choose!

The first one: dipping

After cutting the steak into small pieces, you can eat it with steak dipping, which is the most authentic way to eat steak in Western food, because steak dipped in egg mixture makes the texture of steak more smooth and delicious to eat.

The second type: fried and eaten

If you can't stand the fishy smell of the egg mixture, you can use a knife and fork to turn the egg over, because when it's first served, the iron plate is still very hot, and it's easy to cook the egg and eat it as a fried egg.

The third one: making salad

Because Western food has a lot of side dishes, you can put some vegetables, hollowed out noodles or something to your liking, toss them with the eggs, add some dressing, and make a salad that is also very good!
