Cooking Tips
You don’t want to put meat into a cold pan. It just cooks really bad. And it has a weird flavor to it. It doesn’t really cook right. The beauty of getting it in a hot pan is you kind of get a little sear on it. So you’re adding a lot of nice flavors to it as well.
If you like it really hot, you can add more.
I like to get a little bit of darkness on here.
I like to let it kind of marinate a little bit.
