instruction:
Given a paragraph about cooking, and a set of conversational question answers about the paragraph, generate a relevant question to the topic of the paragraph. The paragraph has the prefix 'CONTEXT:'. Each conversation question has a prefix 'Q:' followed by the answer prefix 'A:'.
question:
CONTEXT: There are many variables here that may or may not caused OP's problem.The Pan sounds as it might not have been hot enough. How hot was quite hot, how long could you hover your hand above the pan? Did you notice any change to the oil once you added it to the pan, did it streak, did it start to smoke?[Personally I tend to oil the meat before placing into the pan.]I think the main flaw is the frying for a minute on each side, at the temperature you had, that cooking time was too low. Maybe 2-4 minutes on each side. A medium should have a lot more heat penetrate the edges and allow that heat to transfer and cook the steak off the heat.That's an acceptable blue/rare steak though. <sep> Q: I have trouble cooking a steak 'medium', and to be honest, cooking it at all. My steak didn't turn out. What happened to my steak? A: There are many variables here that may or may not caused OP's problem.The Pan sounds as it might not have been hot enough
answer:
Well, I heated a metal pan and added some oil when it was already quite hot put in the meat, It was 'glued' to the pan slightly - not hot enough?

question:
CONTEXT: Yes. Water boils at about 212F (100C) and meat is cooked from 140F to 160F. If you left the meat in there for a very long time it would eventually approach 212F and start to get tough.The time that they give you is going to be the time it takes to ensure that the meat is safe to eat. Generally I like it to be closer to the rare side as it is more tender that way. <sep> Q: Will meat overcook in a boiling water pot? A: If you left the meat in there for a very long time it would eventually approach 212F and start to get tough
answer:
How long should I cook small cuts of steak to "medium"?

question:
CONTEXT: One of your possible answers is pretty close to what I think is the correct one. To flavor carnitas all the way through, put them back in the braising liquid that has been reduced since cooking the pork. You can create a kind of glaze out of the braising liquid, and toss the shredded pork in that (defat the braising liquid before reducing it).BTW, I never fry carnitas. I may throw them on a greased grill, but I never deep or shallow fry them. <sep> Q: How can I get my flavorings to flavor my carnitas all the way through the pork? A: To flavor carnitas all the way through, put them back in the braising liquid that has been reduced since cooking the pork
answer:
I use cheap meat, so will a better meat work better?
