Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
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.
