How to Cook Meat

Cooking anything (especially meat) seems simple. And it is. That said, there are lessons to be learned. While not everyone can be a Michelin-starred chef, it’s a skill that can be developed, just like anything else. You just need to put in some time. The key is to not become demoralised if you don’t nail it on the first try. Just keep experimenting – cooking at home is supposed to be fun after all. Don’t forget that. Because meat is tissue, muscle and sinew that come from a living creature you should expect some variation. This may seem obvious but it’s good to know, as it might explain why a recipe that worked the first time didn’t turn out so well on the next try. The more you cook, the more a natural instinct will kick in and it’s important that you learn to listen to this. Recipes will become guidelines. There’s a great feeling that comes with trusting your judgement, as opposed to something written in a book.
