Cherry Meat - Tips and Tricks
• Any meat loves pre-marinating, which is only good for it. If you have time, it is better to pre-rub the pieces with spices, sauces, put them in a container (you can in a bag) and leave for a few hours. If marinating time is long, then it is better to put it on the balcony or in the refrigerator.
• Connective tissue, veins and films are the main enemies of juicy and tender meat. Therefore, before cooking, you should carefully remove all unnecessary, clean the pieces and cut them correctly, that is, across the fibers. Otherwise, as the meat is neither pickled nor cooked, nothing will penetrate inside the piece.
• When roasting, pieces of meat are laid out only on a well-heated surface. The oil should almost boil. In contact with high temperature, the protein of the meat collapses and does not allow juices to exit.
• If the cherries are too sour or unripe, then you can mix the berries with a small amount of honey or sugar and leave for half an hour to soak. Then apply according to the recipe. Sweet juice can not throw away, as well as add to the meat.
