Juicy, tender meat~

I hope everyone is having a good week so far! Here is Tip #2~

If you want a tender piece of meat (such as chicken, beef, pork, or fish), sear the meat on its two largest sides on high heat (2-3 minutes each side) and place the meat on a baking tray. Drizzle a bit of the marinade or sauce that you want to go with the meat and roast it in a preheated oven (depending on the meat, between 350ºF and 400ºF) for an allotted time (depending on the meat, between 15 minutes and 45 minutes. For example, I made a salmon dish that I baked at 400ºF for 15 minutes and a pork dish at 375ºF for 45 minutes). This method for cooking creates a shell around the meat (searing step) which traps the juices inside the meat while the majority of the cooking is being done (baking step). I'll post some exact recipes and more examples later for you to take a look at!

Hope you enjoy your weekend, and have a wonderful and exciting Fourth of July!!!
