Question

Emily cooked meat steak and it turned out to be fibrous and chewy instead of being tender. Which one of the following errors did Emily make while cooking the meat steak?

Options

• She marinated it with papaya juice.

• She roasted it at high temperature.

• She washed it with garlic infused water.

• She kept the marinated steak overnight.

Answer 1

She roasted it at high temperature.

Explanation:

Cooking meat for too long at high temperatures makes it tough and chewy. To keep a steak tender, it is better to cook it at a moderate temperature or use slow-cooking methods.
