Question :

I have a steak and I want to cook it in a pan, I have no cooking experience, can you write some steps to help me cook the steak?

Answer :

Of course you can, here are the steps for cooking a steak:

1. Take the steak out of the fridge and allow it to come back to temperature for about 30 minutes or so, until the surface is free of ice and at room temperature. This will help the steak to heat up evenly when cooking.

2. Prepare the pan by adding enough olive oil or melted butter while adjusting the heat to medium and wait for the oil to become hot.

3. Dry the surface of the steak with kitchen paper towels and coat it evenly with salt and black pepper, pressing down gently to coat it well.

4. Place the steak in the pan and press down with a spatula, sliding it once from the centre outwards to ensure the overall heat is balanced.

5. Fry for a typical 3-5 minutes, waiting for the top layer to be golden brown, at which point you can flip it with a spatula.

6. Turn and cook as above for a further 3-5 minutes or until you have reached your desired level.

7. Turn off the heat and leave to rest for 2-3 minutes, as appropriate, until the meat is tender and the juices are well risen, sprinkling with some herbs or lemon juice if desired to enhance the flavour.

8. Finally, arrange the steak on a plate and serve with your favourite vegetables and side dishes.

We hope that these steps will help you to prepare a successful steak.

Question :

我有一片牛排，我想用锅把它做熟，我没有烹饪经验，你能写一些步骤辅助我做牛排吗？

Answer :

当然可以，以下是做牛排的步骤：

1. 从冰箱中取出牛排，让其回温约30分钟左右，直至表面没有冰块，并呈现室温状态。这样有利于牛排在烹饪时受热均匀。

2. 准备平底锅，加入足够的橄榄油或融化的黄油，同时调节中火，等待油变热。

3. 用厨房纸巾将牛排表面的水分擦干，用盐和黑胡椒均匀地裹上一层，轻轻的按压让其充分附着。

4. 将牛排放入平底锅，用铲子进行按压，并从中心向外滑动一次，以确保牛排的整体受热平衡。

5. 煎制时间一般为3-5分钟，等待表层呈金黄色，这时候可以用铲子翻面。

6. 翻面后再按照上述方法，继续煎制3-5分钟或者至您想要的程度。

7. 视情况关火后再静置2-3分钟，等待肉质松软、汁液充分涌出，如果需要可以撒上些香草或者柠檬汁来提味。

8. 最后，将牛排摆在盘子上，配以您喜欢的蔬菜和配菜即可享受美味的牛排。

希望这些步骤可以帮助您成功烹制出美味的牛排。
