One
Preheat the pan to moderately hot. Use a pan that suits the number of pieces to be cooked. Oil the meat not the pan.
Two
Meat should sizzle when you add it to the pan. Keep the heat moderately high; this should be enough to keep the meat sizzling without burning.
Three
Cook one side until the first sign of moisture appears on the upper side, turn and cook other side. Turn once only.
Four
Test for doneness with tongs. Rare is soft when pressed, medium is springy and well done is very firm. Rest the meat for a few minutes before serving.
