What each ingredient does
- Steak
- Is the main component, cooked by direct high heat to brown the surface and reach the desired doneness.
The step that matters
Judging doneness under the broiler. Broiler heat is intense and cooks quickly, so the steak can go from rare to overcooked in a short time. Checking the internal doneness rather than relying only on the clock helps keep the meat juicy and to the level you want.
