Title: steak
Post by: fethiyeflo on November 12, 2011, 19:15:39 PM

most times when i eat steak out in a restaurant it is always so soft and tender
they must do something to the steak,ie soak it in something to make it this soft, does anyone know? my partner keeps meaning to ask his chef and forgets

I know of a couple of restaurants where they marinade the steak in milk for a couple of hours before cooking. It doesn't colour the meat or impart any flavour but it certainly has a tenderising effect.

I think they buy that steak that's gone a funny colour and beat it with a mallet.

You can also add some bicarb to the milk but be aware that it'll give the meat a slightly salty taste.

For years I cooked steak slowly and not too hot, and I always thought it tougher than restaurants, seems far better cooked very hot for a shorter time,simple but seems to work,decent meat obviously makes a big difference.
