Tip 1: Rule of thumb – “done-ness”

Rare: Hold one hand up loosely and with the other hand press the ball of your thumb (this is the fleshy part of your hand directly under your thumb). This should give you the feeling of a rare steak.

Medium: Bring your index finger to your thumb to make a circle. Using your other hand, press the ball of your thumb to get the feeling of a steak that is medium done.

Well done: Bring your middle finger to your thumb to make a circle, using your other hand press the ball of your thumb to get the feeling of a well done steak.

Tip 2: Tenderness

Resting meat is absolutely ESSENTIAL to ensuring premium taste and tenderness.
