How do you properly cook a steak?

Properly cooking a steak is like turning a sleepy bear into a dancing bear, it just needs the right amount of attention and heat.

Steak is a piece of meat, usually from a cow, that’s been cut in a special way to make it tender. To cook it properly, you need heat, which can come from a pan or an oven, like when you toast bread.

You start by heating up your pan until it's very hot, so hot it could almost sing! Then you put the steak in the pan and let it sit there for a little while. This is called searing, and it helps make the outside of the steak crispy and golden, like a caramel-coated donut.

After that, depending on how done you want your steak to be, like if you want it soft (like a cloud) or firm (like a brick), you might move it to the oven or just leave it in the pan longer. The more time it spends with heat, the more done it becomes.

Finally, you take it out and let it rest for a minute so all the juicy goodness inside can settle evenly, making every bite as good as the first! Properly cooking a steak is like turning a sleepy bear into a dancing bear, it just needs the right amount of attention and heat.
