Haven’t cooked because I have a question, although I’m rating a 5 because of your brilliant recipe. How do the steaks turn out after 5 minutes, well done, medium, medium rare? We’re a medium rare family. We would eat to medium using your recipe. Lower cook temp for medium rare? Thank you and Dom.
Hi Ryan,
Sorry for the late reply. The steak will be medium after the 5 minutes this is because we are cooking the potatoes at the same time and if we lowered the cooking time the potatoes would not be cooked. You could chop the potatoes into small chunks and put it on for 4 minutes or if you are daring 3 minutes, then the steak will not be as cooked and should be around medium rare, but we have not tried 🙂
sounds good Iam going to try it
Thanks..!!
