Beef in the oven in foil - tricks and tips
• Sometimes you should not remove all the fat from the meat, the dish will be more juicy if you leave a thin layer, as it prevents the meat juice from evaporating.
• If you put a couple of thin sticks of raw carrots in the heated butter, the meat will not stick to the pan when frying until golden brown.
• Beef in foil in the oven will be softer if you smear it with a thin layer of spicy homemade mustard and cook for a couple of hours before cooking. Clean the mustard with a knife and wipe off the pulp with a damp cloth.
• When wrapping in a foil, it is necessary to avoid gusts, if they are still formed, carefully unfold the damaged area and put a “patch” of the same foil below.
• The readiness of the dish is checked by the light juice released from the meat when the knife is punctured.
