Preparing And Braaing Your Steak
Steaks can be braaied in various ways to suit each person’s preference, ranging from rare to thoroughly cooked through. Your steak should always be at room temperature before braaiing – the proteins are relaxed, helping result in a more tender meat. If you’ve bought a piece of high-quality meat, you really don’t need to overdo the seasoning. A generous sprinkle of salt and pepper should do the trick.
To judge whether a steak is done: a 2cm steak needs 3 minutes on each side for rare and 4-5 minutes for medium. You can also check out this simple recipe on how to braai the perfect steak.
We all know that a braai is never really complete without other meats and of course – sides! Don’t forget your wors, some veggies, sauces, snacks, and liquor to complete your Braai Day celebrations with your nearest and dearest. What’s your favourite cut of steak?
