Boiling meat!

[SaligoBay]

On a French food programme the other night, in an article about beef, the advice of the nutritioniste/chef was....... before you fry your steak, dip it briefly into boiling water first.  Makes it tasty and succulent.

You heard it here first.

Goodness me! whatever next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gordon Ramsay was teaching a couple of novice cooks to cook steak and chips in his " the f word" program last night and there was certainly no mention of boiling. He advised seasoning the meat with salt and pepper before cooking, putting the meat into a hot frying pan (some oil too I think) and then adding some butter!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It did look good and he had some good hints for testing how well done the steak would be.
