i like to cook my beef in a skilletI use olive oil to fry and keep it on the lowest heatWell my meat keeps getting blackenedI just put aluminum foil under my meat so that now the meat is frying atop foilWill this dry my meat.can this catch fire.somehow?
If it is blackening you are using too high heat, or are cooking it for too longCheck that you are using the right type of steakI suspect you are using stewing steak which requires long slow cookingBrown the steak to get some colour and the add some water or stock and simmer gentlyGood frying steaks require about 4-6 minutes per side, depending upon the degree of cooking you wish Ditch the tin foil idea, it is safe, but it will not stop your steak burning.
