A la carte' at home

A la carte' (at home)
Fast and simple way to a meal.
To make cooking easy, you must get all ingredients ready (mise en place done)
Organized yourself , put the first ingredient first, and have short note written, step 1, step 2 and so on. Flame low, or medium, or high. Always seal the meal in high flame so that the juice is contained in the meat and cannot escape, the pan will not be wet by the juice. Then turn the flame to low if the meat is thick and take time to cook. Add the ingredients accept garlic because garlic burn easily, to cook with the meat. When the meat is cooked, remove the meat, add wine(if you want to cook the traditional way, reduce the wine) add cream and reduce the cream, add salt to taste, and put the meat back into the pan. You will have a the meat cooking with the sauce. Easy... u.. don't have a sauce yet, you can cook the meat with a sauce.... Done in west... family restaurant... Steak houses don't cook their steak this way. The food in steak house is fast food ... cook the steak and throw in the sauce.. just like you do your own B.B.Q. No effort is put into your meal................ Enjoy eating your home cooked food... it's the best food you ever eat.
