Can you Recook undercooked meat?
Chef's answer
Don't worry. There is a way to recook your food without overcooking it. If it's only slightly undercooked, turn the heat back on, even if just enough for pan frying and once oil is hot again, put the meat back in the pan then cover. You can use a frying pan to gently recook it, too, by steaming it gently.
