Steak tip

Just read a tip from the head chef of Morton's Singapore, Mr Corwin Leong in The Sunday Times.

Do you know how to test for a steak's doneness? Well, according to Mr Leong, "just touch the steak to see."

If you want it rare, it should feel like the hardness of the knob of flesh below your thumb when you make the tips of your thumb and forefinger touch. Touch your thumb with your middle finger if you want medium; fourth finger for medium-well; and pinkie for well-done.

Another tip for DIY steaks in the kitchen: ask the butcher for 300g at about 3cm thick. And he always recommends ribeyes as it's the most flavourful cut.
