Steak can be made from pork, chicken and even fish. But real gourmets prefer to cook this dish from beef.
Oven beef steak - basic cooking principles
Steak is a dish that came to us from America and is a piece of meat, three centimeters thick, fried on both sides.
To prepare this dish, take beef tenderloin. It has a minimum of fat and veins, due to which the meat is tough. Better, of course, if it is fresh or chilled meat. But if you use a frozen product, it is previously thawed and dried on napkins to get rid of excess moisture.
Beef is cut exclusively only across the fibers. Only in this case the meat will turn out soft and juicy.
Before cooking, steaks are rubbed with spices and left for some time so that the meat is saturated with their aromas. Salt must be done immediately before being sent to the oven.
Steaks begin to bake at high temperature, so that it becomes covered with a golden brown, and all the juice is preserved inside. Then it is brought to readiness by lowering the temperature.
