The first two times I finished steaks in the oven I thought, ‘oh wow, that’s cooking like a pro!’ But as you know each steak is different in size and thickness, it’s hard to tell how long to leave it in the oven for (at least it’s hard for me). I think the easiest is to use a cast iron grill pan; then you can watch the steak cook, whereas If you put it in the oven, there’s not much you can do when you find it overcooked after 8-10 minutes.

I'm Janice, nice to meet you!
I love food. When I’m not making food, I think about what to make next. Outside of this blog, I’m a blog writer and a translator between English and Chinese. Growing up in Hong Kong, I was lucky to be surrounded by lots and lots of amazing authentic Chinese food and other Asian food. I would love to share everything I know about cooking Asian food with you, here on Daily Teaspoon :)
I share easy recipes and everyday meal ideas. I like to cook from scratch as much as possible and I don’t use fancy gadgets like an air fryer, slow cooker, or KitchenAid, so you can also try the recipes at home. I also share short articles on health and diet as I find answers to questions I have about topics that you may be interested too.

How would you like your burger?
Some restaurants now ask you ‘how would you like your burger?’ As if you’re having a sirloin or ribeye. But these burgers are made with quite a few steps in the process – at least they have to mince the meat and then put them back together right? There’s a much higher chance of the meat getting bacteria, so unlike a ribeye steak that you can have medium rare or medium, it’s only safe to have your burger fully cooked!
