What each ingredient does
- Beef steak
- Supplies the protein and fat; its surface browns under the broiler while the inside cooks.
The step that matters
Turning the steak every 2 minutes under the broiler. Turning at regular intervals exposes each side to direct heat evenly, so both faces brown without one side scorching or drying out before the centre reaches the desired doneness.
