tips and tricks

  • The biggest questing is, which beef cut is the best for this steak. The main rule is, the meat should be tented, lean and tasty. Also meat should be well matured (dry aged beef is perfect). Usually, this steak is cooked from the fillet steak, but, from my point of view, the top rump steak is most suitable for this.
  • It is better to pasteurize an egg.
  • It is possible to use ordinary onion, but the sweet onion will be much better.
