Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova - a cook, fourth-class baker told how to act correctly in this case.
Marinade is the key to juiciness
It not only gives the meat flavor and aroma, but also makes it more juicy and tender. Experienced chefs use various ingredients for the marinade, such as:
• soy sauce;
• lemon juice;
• olive oil;
• spices and much more.
You can constantly experiment with the marinade until you achieve the perfect balance of flavor.
The fillet must first be removed from the refrigerator.
One of the secrets to cooking fillets is the correct temperature and cooking time.
The fillet should be taken out of the refrigerator in advance so that it comes to room temperature before cooking. This will allow the meat to heat evenly and prevent it from drying out inside.
Using a dry marinade
Dry marinades are a great way to add unique flavor and aroma to your fillet. You can try different spices, herbs, and salts, and then roll the fillet in the mixture before frying or baking.
Dry marinades also help to create an appetizing crust on the surface of the meat. Of course, this method can be used if a regular marinade was not used.
Grill is the best friend of fillet
Grilling is a great way to cook fillets, keeping them juicy and flavorful. Before grilling, remember to oil the grate to prevent the meat from sticking.
The grill gives the fillet a wonderful aroma and a characteristic smoked taste. Even an electric grill can produce excellent results.
How long to cook
The exact cooking time can be determined based on the oven power and the size of the fillet itself. But one thing is certain: the fillet cooks very quickly.
If you keep it on the fire for too long, it will eventually become dry and unbalanced.
