You're Not Preheating Your Pan
No matter what you're cooking, you should never put anything into a cold pan or onto a cold cooking surface. If you do not preheat your pan, you pretty much guarantee that you will overcook your food and you won't be able to establish the proper amount of flavor. Make sure that your pan is the temperature that you want it to be before you start cooking. This is an essential piece of the process that doesn't strike as many people as it should.
