Once you learn the trick avoiding cooking steaks for guests and friends will be a thing of the past. Just as you can enjoy the eating it will take the stress out of cooking them too.
It is so simple can you count to 5?
1. Take a look at your hand, under your thumb there is a large cushion of flesh, imagine that this is the steak, prod it with a finger on your other hand it feels quite soft with a lot of give in it
2. Repeat the above only this time place the thumb and index finger together lightly so they are just touching now prod with the same finger you used on the other hand below the thumb.
3. Repeat the process as above only replace the index finger for the second finger
4. Use the third finger remembering to prod the flesh below the thumb.
5. You guessed it thumb to pinkie finger remember not to press them make sure they are just touching.
I am sure you have figured it out roughly but here is a legend to help
1. Rare
2. Medium rare
3. Medium
4. Medium well
5. Well done (or as I call it done in!)
There you have it pick the favourite way you eat your steak and try it out it works every time
Enjoy!

The best of both worlds! A roast meal as a salad for a hot summer’s day. A great salad to dress up and down depending on your need.What would be better with a beer or a glass of wine in the garden with the sun beating down.
SUMMER VEGETABLE AND PASTA SALAD Serves 4 A sensational summer salad to lay seige, savour and satiate the senses and the stomach! yada yada yada! Just look at it and eat it!Hot spaghetti salad
This is quite a filling salad with a very seventies feel to it, so you could throw together a light green salad to accompany. An ideal mid-week meal for all the family. The only thing missing now is the cheese and pineapple chunks on a stick!
A distinctly Chinese style salad a good accompaniment to other drier Chinese dishes on a table.
