Tips & storage

Make it easier

• Finish the main component and sauce separately before plating so the textures stay layered.
• Keep cold garnish and hot proteins apart until the final minute for a more restaurant-like result.
• Rest meat for 2–3 minutes before slicing; when pieces vary in thickness, check the thickest center for doneness.

Best enjoyed on the day it is made; refrigerate components separately when possible and reheat gently.
