👨🍳 Pro Chef Tips for Cooking and Seasoning Meat
Here are pro chef secrets that will seriously upgrade your cooking!
Pepper Guide:
- White pepper - gentle, great for fish and white meat
- Black pepper - bold and strong, perfect for red meat
- Green pepper - fresh and soft, classic in pepper steak
- Pro tip: cook with white pepper, add black pepper at the very end
Miso Marinade Magic:
Rub white miso paste on beef and leave it overnight. It creates incredible sweetness, beautiful caramelization, and a whole new flavor!
The Hand Test for Doneness:
- Softer palm feel = rare to medium-rare
- Harder palm feel = well done
The chef's perfect steak temperature is 45C, which is quite rare. Interestingly, he only eats meat twice a month because fish digests much faster than meat!
