How long should I cook beef and chicken? I always seem to overcook it when using my pan cuz I can't tell if its completly cooked are not. Is it alright just to boil it?

The trick to cooking meat to perfection is watching it closely and allowing the meat to rest for 15 - 20 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to settle and reassimilate within the muscle fiber.

Cooking times can be tricky. For chicken breast I throw it in the oven at 350 for 18 minutes then hit the broiler for another 2 minutes. Once the chicken is out of the oven don't touch it for 15 - 20 minutes. Then dive in to the moistest meat your tongue will ever taste.

For steak, I take the steer out back, club her on the head, wipe her ass and put her on a plate. I like my beef blood raw.

If you are pan searing for medium, 3 minutes on each side with a resting period of 10 minutes will be perfect.
