Cooking Times for Steaks

Cooking a steak just how you like it is a skill that takes practise and judgement, but this guide to grilling / frying times should help you get started.

Rump, Sirloin and Rib Eye

Rare = 2.5 minutes each side

Medium = 4 minutes each side

Well Done = 6 minutes each side

Fillet

Rare = 3-4 minutes each side

Medium = 4-5 minutes each side

Well Done = 6-7 minutes each side

Minute

Best flash-fried at high temperature

Remember to rest steaks for a few minutes before serving - put them on a plate at room temperature, and cover loosely with foil. Resting allows the juices to be absorbed back in to the meat, giving you a juicier steak.
