2. Lower the heat and continue cooking until the mixture is reduced by half.

Steak:

1. Cooking time: (an approximate guide)
   Rare: 2 Minutes each side.
   Medium Rare: 3-4 Minutes each side.
   Medium: 4-6 Minutes each side.
   Well Done: 2-4 Minutes each side then reduce heat and cook a further 4-6 minutes each side.
2. After cooking allow steaks to rest for 3-5 minutes as this increases their tenderness & juiciness.
3. Serve with potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
