2 RECIPES INSIDE THIS RECIPE

Each with its own weights, steps and timings

The sauce, the cure, the dough, the dressing — a restaurant makes these itself, and so will you. Every one below is a full sub-recipe: its own ingredient list, its own method, its own yield and shelf life. Nothing says «use shop-bought».

Pan sauce

Film

Butter, garlic and cream reduced in the pan the protein was seared in, scraping up what stuck.

The flavour is on the bottom of the pan. A sauce made in a clean pan tastes of cream and nothing else.

Seasoned protein

Salted fifteen minutes ahead and patted bone-dry before it meets the pan.

Wet protein steams instead of browning. The salt pulls moisture out, the towel takes it away.

METHOD

STEP BY STEP — 12 STEPS

10 photographed · 4 filmed

Written the way a restaurant writes a technical card: one operation per step, each with its own time and temperature. 10 of the 12 carry a photo of what it should look like at that moment, and 4 carry a short clip for the parts a still cannot show.

Hardest step: reducing the cream without it splitting — step 7 of 12.
