Help ASAP Please! Steaks!

[AutumnLeaves91]

I’m cooking some sirloin steaks tonight for our anniversary. I think they’re a standard cut, not thin but they don’t say thick either. We have a ceramic hob which goes from 1 to 9. We like our steaks medium well (sorry!) so not sure how long to cook each steak in total to get this? We do have a thermometer to check it reaches 60-65 but would appreciate any help with timings please! Also not sure how many minutes to rest them and if I should loosely cover with foil when resting to retain heat? Thanks so much!

50c then foil. For as long as you cooked for. Plus I turn mine every minute but I cook on gas. Make sure you use plenty oil

Oil your steaks and season well. Put them into a hot pan, so they sizzle. I do mine for two minutes each side for medium rare. Rest for as long as you cook them.

I coat mine in a little oil, a little salt and more black pepper. Make sure they’re room temperature before you put them in the pan. I would do three minutes one side and two to four minutes the other on medium heat (when the pen has got hot) and test the internal temperature. You can also press them to see how firm they are, firmer is more well done.Preheat your plate and leave to rest for at least a couple of minutes, maybe with some butter on top, before you eat.

Thanks so much for your comments everyone! This was the end result, have to say I thought it was good for a first ever attempt!

Well done, it looks perfect!
