How to keep meat tender after cooking : Stage 1

To avoid this problem, you just need to leave the meat to stand 5 minutes after taking out of the oven or the frying pan, until the juices flow back towards the outside.

Stage 2

The best way to do that, is to keep the meat somewhere warm on a hot plate, covered with aluminium foil.

Stage 3

This also works with fish, which will be even more tender.

Everything, except whipped cream, can be made beforehand.
