This may be a little late for Valentine's day, but it is never too late for to learn to cook a great meal for your love ones. Two years ago, I wrote Cooking: How To Cook Steaks with Sticky Wok and Clean Easily, I explained one method of cooking steaks, today I have another way to cook it, except that this one almost guarantee the perfect piece every single time!

I actually learned this method from watching one program on TVB Pearl of which its name I failed to remember. The question here is how to make sure the inner layer is cooked just right without burning the outer layer too much!

The basic principle behind this method is the use of a cooking bag.

I recycled a cooking bag originally for Oden, placed the meatloaf inside, sealed it and put it into boiling water for about 5 minutes. The duration really depends on the thickness of the meat and the gradation of cooking preferred. For me, I prefer medium to medium well.

After the cooking bag step, it is simply back to searing and browning.

The suggested browning time is one flip every 20 seconds.

Since the meat has already been cooked to medium in the inner layer, browning the outer will seem quicker than usual.

But as long as you keep an eye on it, your steak will be juicily prepared in no time!

After one success, you will not want to try any other methods again because it is just so hard to not getting a piece of meat perfectly cooked with this!
