MEGAMASTER RECIPE TIPS
Tip 01
Always make sure your steak is at room temperature before braaing. Braaing or frying it from cold will stop the heat from penetrating to the middle.
Tip 02
To grill your 2.5 cm thick steak to rare, you need to cook it for 1-2 minutes each side, letting it rest for 6-8 minutes. For a medium-rare, cook it for 2-2.5 minutes each side, and for well-done, cook it for 4.5 minutes each side, letting it rest for 1 minute.
Tip 03
If you don’t have truffle oil, extra-virgin olive oil is a good substitute because it has roughly the same consistency and texture.
