The Quickest Way to Tenderize Steak - How to Tenderize Steak with a Meat Mallet
Author: 
Recipe type: Steak
 
Tenderizing steak with a meat mallet is probably the easiest way to tenderize steak. It certainly beats using enzymes and chemicals which at best produce inconsistent results. Almost every kitchen has a meat mallet, most of which have never been used. The reason for this is that no-one has ever showed you how to use it.
Ingredients
  • Steak
Instructions
  1. How hard do you hit? How long do you hit? Do you season the meat before or after tenderizing? Will the steak still look good if you beat the daylights out of it? These are all questions that this video will answer today.
  2. For this demonstration I am using sirloin steaks. The sirloin is an average cut that is certainly not revered for being tender, in the way that tenderloin is.
  3. We are going to season the meat before the tenderizing process. For the purpose of keeping things simple, I am only going to use salt and cracked black pepper. Whatever you decide to use, if it contains salt, then you have to add one extra ingredient, and that is sugar. Salt toughens meat, especially if the meat in question is not going to stand for anything longer than a few minutes before cooking it. The sugar counteracts the toughening effect of salt, with added bonuses… it also gives a wonderful crispy edge crust to meat when it is cooked and results in a rich deep flavor.
  4. Once you have seasoned both sides of the steaks, fold them in bread film of clingwrap and start with the tenderizing. This is where a bit of finesse comes in. You want to hit the meat medium to hard, certainly not hard enough to make holes in it, but hard enough to start flattening the meat out. This process breaks down the connective tissue in the flesh of the meat, resulting in a more tender steak.
  5. You also want to bash the fat cap as well as this is attached to the meat with the same connective tissue. Continue with the tenderizing until everything is uniform and the resulting steak is around half the thickness of the original.
  6. Now you are probably saying to yourself… “This is never going to look like the steak I started with when it’s cooked” --- all I can say is “hang around until the end of the video when you will see just how good it looks”.
  7. To cook the steaks, I have added 2 tablespoons of butter and a dash of oil to my pan. The pan is heated to 210c. You will see a time-lapse of the steak cooking where it will become clear how the tenderized steaks return to their original shape and size when cooked, but without the nasty tough connective tissue.
  8. Here we go…. These are only going to grill for 2 minutes per side…
  9. The steaks are a few seconds from coming out of the pan….. here is an overlay of the steaks that went into the pan, compared to the same steaks 4 minutes later. They have returned to almost exactly the same size and shape as they were before they were tenderized.
  10. Allow the steaks to rest for 2 minutes before serving.

How to Make Tortillas from Beef - Sous Vide Meat Sheets - Meat Wraps
Author: 
Recipe type: Beef / Sous Vide
 
Today's episode brings an interesting and tasty treat when we sous vide a thinly press sheets of ground beef, effectively turning it into a wrap which be used to enclose any fillings of your choice. You will need a vacuum packing machine and any type of digital pot with temperature control.
Ingredients
  • 1kg Ground Beef
  • 20g Fine salt
  • 20g Beef Stock Powder
  • 100ml Chilled water
Instructions
  1. To start, place a kilogram of ground beef in your food processor. Add 20g of fine salt and 20g of good quality beef stock powder.
  2. Finally, pour in 100ml of chilled water.
  3. Place the bowl on the machine and zap the mixture until it is superfine. The mixture will emulsify and come together and start spining around the bowl.
  4. Divide the mixture into 125g portions.
  5. For these size portions, you will need 9 vacuum bags of 200mm by 230mm.
  6. Fold the tops of the bags back to avoid messing on the part of the bag that will be sealed.
  7. Place a portion of meat mixture into each bag and fold back the tops of the bags.
  8. Lay the bags on the work surface and press the meat down to flatten it out. This will make the vacuum process easier.
  9. Pop the bags into the vacuum packer and seal the tops. Make sure to double seal both sides of the bags, to ensure that you have no leaks.
  10. Use your rolling pin to roll the meat out until it is evenly spread across the bags, working it right into the corners.
  11. Work out any uneven rolling by rubbing the sheet down with your hands.
  12. Transfer all of the packets to your digital pot. The pot should be half-filled with water, and pre-heated to 75-80c.
  13. You can use a dedicated sous vide cooker, a digital pressure cooker on the keep warm setting, or a regular pot on an induction range.
  14. Allow the packages to stand in the pot for 45 minutes.
  15. While that carries on, I am going to make a simple filling for my meat wraps.
  16. I have 300g of cooked, finely chopped spinach, 300g of good quality crumbly feta cheese, and 6 anchovies, finely chopped.
  17. Crumble the feta into the cooked spinach and mix it together.
  18. Add the anchovies to yhe bowl and mix these in thoroughly.
  19. And that's that.
  20. After 45 minutes, remove the packages from the pot and cut them open. You will have perfectly cooked, flexible sheets of beef.
  21. Working with one sheet at a time, spread some of the filling over the beef, leaving an inch of border at the top and bottom of the sheet.
  22. Roll the meat up and transfer it to a serving platter.
  23. Use a blowtorch to grill off the top of the roll and add some color. Alternatively, you could grill this off in your oven as well.
  24. Add the accompaniments of your choice and you're ready to serve and enjoy.
  25. Incidentally, once the meat sheets have emerged from their water bath, they can be refrigerated or frozen for later use. Simply place them in hot water to defrost and reheat and you're ready to go.

Chef T's Magic Powder - for Incredible Burger Patties, Steaks, Chicken, Pork, Stews & Soups!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Seasoning / Rubs / Spices
 
Today we're going to make a batch of my magic powder. This amazing stuff is primarily for making the most incredible burger patties, however it can be used just as successfully to flavor roasts, stews, soups and really just about anything. After making the powder, I will demonstrate how to use it to make the burger patties, and a superbly tender roast spatcock chicken. The theory behind how and why this powder works so well will covered in another episode in the near future. Although you can naturally dry the ingredients for the powder in trays, it does help to have a food dryer with multiple racks.
Ingredients
  • 80g Fresh coriander leaves (with stems)
  • ½ Red Pepper
  • ½ Yellow Pepper
  • 30ml Tabasco sauce
  • 8 Portabello mushrooms (or procini)
  • 30ml Onion Flakes
  • 15ml Lemon pepper
  • 15ml +15ml Cornstarch
  • 15ml Salt
For the Burger Patties
  • 7.5ml Magic powder per 100g ground beef
  • 10ml Water per 100g ground beef
For the Chicken
  • Magic powder
  • Roasting vegetables of your choice
  • 1.8kg Chicken
Instructions
  1. To start, place 80g of fresh coriander, including the stems into drying racks.
  2. Cut a half yellow pepper and a half red pepper into strips.
  3. Place these in a mixing bowl, pour in 30ml or 2 tablespoons of Tabasco sauce and toss the peppers until everything is coated.
  4. Cut 8 portabello mushrooms into slices. You can also use porcini mushrooms which work just as well.
  5. Place the sliced mushrooms and peppers into drying trays and stack these on your dryer for 36 to 48 hours until everything is well desiccated.
  6. To make the powder from all the dried ingredients, you will to measure 30ml or 2 tablespoons of dried onion flakes, 15ml or a tablespoon of lemon pepper, 15ml of salt and 15ml of cornstarch.
  7. Place all of the ingredients from the dryer on a chopping board and chop them roughly to make them more manageable for your spice grinder.
  8. Fill your spice grinder to the top with some of this mixture and machine it until reasonably fine.
  9. During the machining the mixture will break down considerably leaving space to add more of the mixture.
  10. Add more of the mixture along with some of the cornstarch.
  11. Machine it again, and carry on adding more of the dried ingredients along with a little cornstarch, until all of the ingredients from the dryer have been ground.
  12. Place this in a bowl, and add the salt, onion flakes, lemon pepper and remaining cornstarch. Mix this together well.
  13. Put the mixture back into the grinder in batches and machine each batch until fine.
  14. Place the fine mixture in a jug and add a further 15ml of cornstarch and mix this in. The cornstarch is used as an anti-caking agent.
  15. Transfer the magic powder to an air-tight sprinkle bottle with large holes and you're ready to go.
  16. To make your magic burger patties you will need 7.5ml or 1.5 teaspoons of magic powder for every 100g of ground beef as well as 10ml or 2 teaspoons of water for each 100g of beef.
  17. Place this all in your stand mixer with the dough hook attached and allow this to mix for 7 minutes on medium low speed, until well emulsified.
  18. Press the burger patties and grill as normal.
  19. Make up your burgers and enjoy. Here we see a double cheese burger using my magic patties and the McDonald's burger we made 2 episodes back.
  20. For the chicken, cut the bird down through breast bone and flatten it out. Place it in a large roasting pan.
  21. Sprinkle the magic powder liberally over the chicken and fill up any space in the pan with the roasting vegetables of your choice.
  22. Pour in 400ml of chicken stock and cover the pan with foil.
  23. Bake the chicken in a pre-heated oven at 200c or 400f for 45 minutes.
  24. Remove the pan from the oven, remove the foil from the pan and return it to the oven uncovered for a further 35 minutes.
  25. Increase the heat to 250c or 480f for a further 10 to 15 minutes until the chicken is crispy and golden. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steak Schnitzel with Veloute' Cheese Sauce - How to Make Rump Steak Schnitzel - How to Make Cheese S
Author: 
Recipe type: Steak / Beef
Serves: 4
 
Just a few episodes back we made a veloute' sauce using chicken bone broth. One of our viewers requested that we expand on this to make a cheese sauce. This on its own would be too simple and short to make up a full episode, so today we're going to make a rump steak schnitzel topped with this cheese sauce.
Ingredients
  • 2 x Rump steaks cut to 1 inch thick
  • Fine breadcrumbs
  • 4 Eggs, beaten
  • 1 Batch veloute' sauce
  • 150g Edam cheese, finely grated
Instructions
  1. You will need 2 juicy rump steaks cut to an inch thick. Try to buy steaks with a decent strip of fat down the edge.
  2. Set your meat slicer to 6mm thick and run the steaks trough the blade. This will give you 8 schnitzels, or 4 servings.
  3. For the coating, beat 4 eggs and pour them into a large bowl.
  4. Half fill another bowl with fine bread crumbs. I am not going to season the crumbs as the cheese and veloute' sauce already have tons of seasoning.
  5. Before coating the schnitzels, sprinkle a layer of bread crumbs over a large platter. This is where the coated schnitzels will set, and the layer prevents the coating from sticking to the platter and getting damaged.
  6. Working with one schnitzel at a time dip the steak in the egg to wet it all over.
  7. Transfer it to the crumbs and dredge it to get a good solid coating.
  8. Transfer the the coated schnitzels to the platter to set, the continue with the remaining schnitzels. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes before continuing.
  9. To make the cheese sauce, take a batch of the veloute' sauce we made the other day and add 150g of finely shredded Edam cheese. You can also use any other strong, well matured cheese of your choice.
  10. Whisk the cheese into the hot veloute' until it has started to melt in.
  11. Use your stick blender to smooth the sauce and completely combine the cheese.
  12. Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat and add 50g of butter.
  13. When the butter is bubbling add the first batch of schnitzels.
  14. Fry these for 3 to 4 minutes per side until crisp and golden.
  15. Remove the schnitzels from the pan and continue with the next batch.
  16. Serve the schnitzels immediately drenched with the cheese sauce and the accompaniments of your choice.

In today's episode we're making a couple juicy grilled sirloin steaks smothered in fried Portabellini mushrooms and a super quick red wine sauce using xanthan gum.
Ingredients
For the Sauce
  • 250ml Dry red wine (good quality - bad wine = bad sauce)
  • Chicken stock or beef stock
  • 3.75ml Xanthan gum
For the Rest
  • 6 Portabellini / Porcini / brown mushrooms
  • 30g Butter
  • 2 Fronds fresh rosemary
  • 2 x 250g Sirloin / Tenderloin steaks, cut 30mm thick

Instructions
  1. Starting with the red wine sauce, crumble the stock cube into the red wine. Follow the stock manufacturers instructions to calculate the quantity of stock required for this amount of liquid.
  2. Add 3.75ml of xanthan gum to the wine mixture.
  3. Use your stick blender to combine this thoroughly. You can use a regular stand blender. You will end up with a thick red wine sauce within 60 seconds, and all that remains to be done is to heat the sauce in your microwave when required.
  4. Strip the leaves from 2 fronds or fresh rosemary and roughly chop the leaves, then measure out 30g of butter.
  5. You will need 2 juicy sirloin steaks cut to 1 and a quarter inches thick, or just over 30mm.
  6. Stand the steaks on their fatty edge and press 2 skewers through the steaks to secure.
  7. Flip the steaks over and season the fat liberally with salt and cracked black pepper.
  8. Slice the mushrooms and put these aside.
  9. Heat a heavy pan over medium high heat, add the butter and drop the steaks into the pan fatty side down.
  10. Allow the fat to cook like this for 6 to 8 minutes until well browned, crispy and rendered.
  11. Remove the skewers and lift the steaks from the pan while you add half of the rosemary.
  12. Return the steaks to the pan, lying flat, and sprinkle the remaining rosemary over the top.
  13. Grill the steaks for 2 minutes per side for medium rare, or add 30 seconds per side for medium.
  14. Remove the steaks from the pan and transfer them to warm plate to rest.
  15. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and stir fry these for 2 to 3 minutes until tender and golden.
  16. In the meantime heat the red wine sauce in your microwave oven until nice and warm.
  17. Transfer the steaks to serving platters, top each with half of the mushrooms and a generous dose of the red wine sauce.
  18. Serve your masterpiece immediately with the accompaniments of your choice.

In our previous episode we looked at xanthan gum, and used it to make a simple vinaigrette and a thick anchovy and blue cheese dressing. Today we're doing a super-quick grilled steak topped with the anchovy blue cheese dressing, thinned with the vinaigrette.
Ingredients
  • 2 x 250g Prime sirloin steaks, cut 30mm thick
  • [url:1]100g Anchovy & blue cheese dressing (prepared in previous episode - click to see)
  • 25-50ml quick Vinaigrette (prepared in previous episode - click to see)[/url]
  • 15ml Butter
Instructions
  1. You need a couple of juicy sirloin steaks, cut to 1 and a quarter inch thick..... in metric that's about 30mm.
  2. Stand the steaks on their fatty edge and press 2 skewers through the steaks to secure them.
  3. Flip the steaks over and season the fatty strips liberally with salt and cracked black pepper.
  4. Heat a heavy pan over medium high heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
  5. When the butter is sizzling, place the steaks fatty side down in the pan.
  6. Allow the steaks to cook like this for 6 to 8 minutes. This renders and crisps the fatty edge. The rendered fat mixes with butter resulting in an amazing flavor when the steak is separated and grilled.
  7. Once the fatty strip is crispy and well browned, remove the skewers and drop the steaks flat in the pan.
  8. Grill the steaks for 2 minutes per side for medium rare, or an extra 30 seconds per side for medium.
  9. In the meantime, thin the anchovy blue cheese dressing using some of the vinaigrette. Pop this in your microwave and heat it gently for about 60 seconds.
  10. Remove the steaks from the pan, allow them to rest for a couple of minutes, then serve topped with the sauce and accompaniments of your choice.
  11. And there it is, a super-quick, super-tender and super-tasty grilled sirloin with an amazing sauce. Stay tuned for our next episode where we're grilling a magnificent steak with Portabellini mushrooms and a super-quick red wine sauce using xanthan gum.

The Correct Way to Make Beef Kebabs - Succulent & Tender Beef Kebabs Every Time!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Beef / Steak
 
Beef kebabs more often than not are tough and dry, and quite plainly unpleasant. In today's episode we're looking at a really simple trick that will give you awesomely succulent and tender beef kebabs every time. So we're going to rustle up a batch of the amazing beef wonders.
Ingredients
  • 1.8kg Rump steak, cut 1 inch thick
  • Seasoning of your choice
  • 60g Butter
  • 20 x 8 inch skewers
Instructions
  1. You need to start with a good cut of meat like rump, with a nice thick strip of fat on the edge. Here I have 2 very nice slabs each about 900g or 2 pounds, cut nd inch thick.
  2. You will notice the one side of each piece has a much thinner strip of fat. Cut this piece away, and cut it into 1 inch cubes.
  3. To bard the cubes of meat that don't border with fat we are going to borrow some of the fat from the thick layer on the other side.
  4. Use sharp knife to trim away the fat, leaving only about 5mm or a quarter inch of fat behind.
  5. Cut the meat into 1 inch cubes, then slice the strip of fat into 5mm bits.
  6. Continue with the remaining steak.
  7. To thread the skewers, start with a cube that has fat. Follow this with a slice of fat, then another cube of meat and so on until all of your skewers are assembled.
  8. Every piece of meat will be interspersed with a piece of fat. This is what keeps the meat juicy and tender, and adds tons of flavor.
  9. Transfer the kebabs to a large roasting tin and season them liberally with the seasoning of your choice. Allow them to marinate for at least an hour before continuing.
  10. You can cook the kebabs on your barbecue, in a pan or under your oven grill. You will need medium high heat, and if your barbecuing or oven grilling, remember to baste with melted butter before starting.
  11. I am doing mine in a pan. Heat the pan to medium high and add 60g of butter.
  12. When the butter is bubbling, add the kebabs. You will probably need to cook 2 batches if you're using a pan.
  13. Grill the kebabs for 2 minutes 30 seconds per side, remembering that they have 4 sides... giving you 10 minutes in total.
  14. Remove the kebabs from the pan and serve immediately with accompaniments of your choice.

Jagermeister has become a household name in the realm drinks. Made with 56 herbs and spices it makes a perfect base for flavoring red meats and game. In this case we're going to rustle up a deliciously tender and succulent Jagermeister rump steak. This recipe is courtesy of a friend of mine who owns and runs a pub and grub and golf range just down our street called "At the 19th".
Ingredients
  • 4 x 300g Rump steaks
  • 90ml Jagermeister
  • 220ml Coca Cola
  • 220ml Worcestershire sauce
  • 30ml Tomato sauce
  • 30ml Demerara sugar
  • 5ml Salt
  • 30g Butter
Instructions
  1. Starting with the marinade, combine the coca cola, Worcestershire sauce, Jagermeister, Demerara sugar, salt, sugar and tomato sauce. Mix this until the solids are dissolved.
  2. On with the cooking. Here I have 2 large rump steaks, about 600g each.... cut to an inch thick.
  3. I am going to cut these in half to give 4 portions.
  4. Place the steaks in a baking tin and pour in the marinade. Drag the steaks through the marinade making sure that they are coated all over. Put these aside for 2 hours to marinate.
  5. After 2 hours, transfer the steaks to a platter and pour the marinade into a pan..
  6. Bring the liquid to boil and let this reduce to a syrup stirring continuously.
  7. Put the syrup aside.
  8. I have reduced half of the syrup as I am only going to grill 2 steaks for this demonstration. The other 2 are for my lunch tomorrow.
  9. Heat a heavy pan over medium high heat and add 30g of butter. Add the steaks to the pan.
  10. Grill the steaks for 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes. After every turn wipe the steaks around the pan to pick up the caramelized juices.
  11. After 10 minutes, the steaks are almost done and will have a beautiful dark crust.
  12. Lift the steaks from the pan and wipe them through the marinade syrup, then return them to the pan for a further 60 seconds on each side.
  13. And there you have it..... the perfectly grilled Jagermeister rump steak.

Sugar chilli steak is flavor experience you will never forget. The caramelized sweet and spicy glaze offset by the creamy mushroom sauce is quite honestly one of the best combinations around.
Ingredients
For the Steaks
  • 4 x 250g Sirloin or Rump steaks
  • 60ml Demarara sugar (or treacle sugar)
  • 15ml Coarse ground black pepper
  • 15ml Chilli flakes
  • 10ml Salt
For the Mushroom Sauce
Instructions
  1. Combine the Demarara sugar, chilli flakes, coarsely cracked black pepper and salt.
  2. Press generous amounts of the mixture into the surface of both sides of the steaks.
  3. Stand the steaks up on their fatty edge and press 3 skewers through the steaks to secure them in this position.
  4. Flip the block over and give fatty strip a liberal dose of salt. Put these aside.
  5. To make the sauce you will need 300ml of the gourmet creamy mushroom soup we made yesterday..... click the link to see this video if you missed it.
  6. Pour the soup into a small saucepan. Dissolve the tapioca flour in a little water and stir this into the soup.
  7. Bring this to a simmer over medium heat and allow it to simmer for 90 seconds until thickened.
  8. Remove this from the heat and keep it warm.
  9. Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat and add 30g of butter.
  10. Place the steaks in the pan, fatty side down and allow this to fry for 6 minutes until the fat is well rendered.
  11. Remove the skewers from the steaks and drop them flat in the pan.
  12. Continue to grill these for 3 to 4 minutes per side until we glazed and caramelized.
  13. Remove the steaks from the heat and allow them to rest for a minute before serving topped with the creamy mushroom sauce.

Smashed Cheese Burger. Shake Shack and Smashburger in Your Own Kitchen!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Burgers / Franchise
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4
 
Shake Shack and Smashburger are taking the market by storm. The unique texture and taste of the smashed patty is what has everyone raving. The process has a good few steps, but just follow the steps and your burger will be smashing too.
Ingredients
For 4 Patties
  • 500g Ground beef - 25% fat content
  • 2.5ml White pepper
  • 5ml Ground coriander seed
  • 5ml Chilli flakes
  • 2.5ml Garlic powder
For the Burgers
  • 4 Large burger buns
  • Sliced tomato
  • 8 Thick slices cheese (I used Mozzarella)
  • Lettuce
  • Mayonnaise
Instructions
  1. To achieve the texture that is more akin to steak, rather than compressed mince, the ground beef needs to be emulsified.
  2. Place the beef in your mixer bowl. Add the salt, ground white pepper, ground coriander seed, chilli flakes and garlic powder.
  3. Place the bowl on your stand mixer and attach the dough hooks to the mixer. Mix the meat on medium speed for a full ten minutes.
  4. By this stage proteins in the beef are liberated and the mixture will be very sticky. Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator while you continue with the other preparations.
  5. Cut the burger buns, slice the tomatoes and cut 2 thick slices of cheese for each burger. You will also need nice crispy fresh lettuce leaves.
  6. To continue with patties.... divide the beef into portions of 125g. Working with one portion, press it into a cylinder mold to form a thick narrow patty that resembles a hockey puck. Do this on top of a piece of foil or clingwrap. Continue until all the patties are formed.
  7. Transfer the patties to a large platter in a single layer and transfer these to your freezer for exactly 15 minutes. This chills the burger to the core and prevents the center of the burger from over-cooking under the extreme cooking heat to follow.
  8. While the burgers chill, heat your pan over medium high heat and add 50ml of butter. Drop the buns into the pan to toast the insides until golden.
  9. Increase the heat of the pan to smoking hot. Place the patties in the pan. Use an egg lifter or similar utensil along with any other sturdy tool to crush the burger patties. You want them to end up just slightly bigger than the buns. Allow these to grill for 3 and a half minutes and the underside is crispy and caramelized.
  10. Flip the patties and immediately add the cheese to each one. Continue grilling these for a further 3 and a half minutes.
  11. Transfer the patties to the buns. Top each one with 2 slices of tomato and loads of lettuce.
  12. Give the lid of the bun a good dose of mayonnaise and close the burger.
  13. Serve immediately.

Steakhouse melts are legendary. Oozing melted cheese encased in spicy emulsified beef makes for a feast from heaven.
Ingredients
  • 500g Ground beef
  • 20g Salt
  • 2.5ml White pepper
  • 5ml Ground coriander seed
  • 5ml Chilli flakes
  • 2.5ml Crushed garlic powder
  • 4 Thick slices Mozzarella cheese
  • 50g Butter for frying
Instructions
  1. Place the ground beef in your mixer bowl. Add the salt, white pepper, ground coriander seed, chilli flakes and garlic powder.
  2. Place the bowl on the stand mixer. Attach the dough hooks and mix the beef on medium speed for 10 minutes.
  3. By this stage the beef will be emulsified and very sticky.
  4. Divide the beef into 4 equal portions of 125g each. Working with one at a time, form a portion of the beef into a ball and place it in the center of a piece of cling-wrap. Flatten the beef into a disc, then fold the cling-wrap over to enclose the meat.
  5. Flatten the meat out into a large circle 4mm thick, or 1 sixth of an inch.
  6. Repeat this with the remaining portions.
  7. Cut 4 thick slices of Mozzarella cheese, about 10mm thick or just less than a half inch, and big enough to cover half of the beef circles with a border around the edge.
  8. Position the cheese pieces on the upper half of the beef portions and season with salt and cracked black pepper.
  9. Use the cling-wrap to fold the open half of beef over the cheese, and crimp the edges closed.
  10. Transfer the steakhouse melts to your refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  11. Heat your pan over medium high heat and add 50g of butter and fry the melts for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  12. Serve the melts immediately with the accompaniments of your choice.
