My first time to cook beefsteak

Today, I tried to cook a beefsteak. I have wanted to try to cook it for a long time, but because I’m Chinese*, there is no one around to teach me how properly to  cook beefsteak! Also, I know if the beef is over cooked, it will be extremely dry and taste unpleasant. I like to eat soft and juicy beef. Luckily, I’m successful today! The picture below shows that I’m telling the truth. Maybe I have a talent for cooking. Haha.

How did I manage to cook it so successfully my first time? The tip is to prepare before cooking. I had researched some cooking techniques when I decided to cook beefsteak. We all know beefsteak may be cooked rare, medium rare, medium, medium well and well done. I like mine to be medium well. One must cook both sides 3-4 minutes each. On second thought, right before that, one should sear them over a high fire so that the water can be sealed inside the beef. Then, cook them over a lower fire, each size for 3-4 minutes. I think it will be better cooking one's beef with butter. It both smells and tastes delicious! However, if one want to be healthier, one can use olive oil instead. As a side dish, I made some rice rolls. I thought that they would be helpful in reducing some of the meat's greasiness.

If one prepares and cooks it the way that I did, I'm hoping that you will enjoy it!

Tracy, another interesting essay! And yes, it looks delicious! Good job, but watch your tenses. J. *While I understand what you are trying to write, perhaps a better way of expressing it is to write that it is not a regular part of your diet, or that of the average person in China. Thus, since it isn't cooked on a regular basis, few people there know how to do it properly. Writing  "...because I'm Chinese..." should not be a "catch-all" excuse since there are Chinese people here in the U.S. (and elsewhere!) who can cook meat extremely well (Sorry, no pun intended!).
