  • Watch and learn the proper way to tie a roast with a string. Certified Master Chef Edward Leonard, Le Cordon Bleu, demonstrates the roast tying technique and explains why it is important.
    Why tie a roast? We want to make sure the meat stays firm and nice & even. Take some butchers twine and go under the meat. Make a loop around your fingers and make a knot and pull tight but don't tear the meat. Now take the string and loop under and repeat. Now turn meat over and cut the string. Go over, under and pull till complete. Now tie the two ends together. Now we have a beautiful cut filet piece of meat that will cook evenly with this old butchers trick.

    The first part looks tricky. I have to watch that part a few times and practice doing the first part. The rest looks easier. Thanks so much

    FINALLY an example of a properly trussed piece of meat, not just the individual tied off knots of all the others. Thanks very much, Cheers from Australia.

    Thank you for that when I was a kid I saw it done many many times st stores butcher shops and slaughter houses on my fathers meat route I'm 71, now but I didn't remember how they did it . The old butchers were so fast too . I used to be amazed how one old German lady cut pork chops with a meat cleaver without chopping her fingers off those people I watched were really skilled

  • @josephstaurovsky27
    @josephstaurovsky27 Před 2 lety

    Great video... however, the string should be pulled from the center of the ball. This way you don't have to fiddle with and chase it around the kitchen floor when it falls from the prep surface...

    I think i understand, he makes a loop with the short end (twisting the loop the opposite way to what feels natural) , then the short end goes over the long end and through the loop. The next loop is almost a double twist.

  • @BossCrunk
    @BossCrunk Před 4 lety

    Space the ties where you want to slice the roast. You want to cut on the string marks so they don't show on the portions served.

  • @pyrofful
    @pyrofful Před 5 lety

    The beging knot he is showing is explained goofy here what he is doing.
    You loop around the meat THEN take the short end of string and go around your long string.....now once you crossed it over the meat tie it to itself. All your doing is a simple knot over the long end so it slides. After that you tighten it and now tie another simple knot with the remaining short end to the long end (keeping your first knot from comming undone). There is an easier way though. *2nd way* start off cutting a long piece of string, now holding the string (leave the meat alone for now, don't need it yet) tie a LOOSE normal (square) knot so you have a opening in the knot.(AKA don't lock the knot down yet) Now run your long end through the hole part way (end without your knot in you just made)......tighten your original loose knot around the string. Take that opening/hole and put it a round the meat.....slide the knot down snug and tie your remaining knot string to your long end (keeping it from being able to slide) continue with the rest of his instructions.....

  • @KDawgRocks
    @KDawgRocks Před 8 lety +15

    This is a useful skill (though not sure how so on an evenly cut tenderloin) but the filming and description could be a lot better. First, the initial knot, while he describes it, is difficult to picture . Better to hold your hands away from the camera to show how you "make the loop and and bring it around the two pieces" . I would prefer not to have to pause and study a video to figure out the technique. Second, a simple but crucial piece is the "we're gonna take the sting and make a loop...". Do your students a favor and describe to them that it's critical that the loose end (the end attached to the spool) must go on the under side of the loop ... ,and show it in the video, otherwise it won't tighten. Yes, its not rocket science to figure out exactly how to do it, but if you're going to post an educational video, please pay more attention to the details. You've done it a million times, your students haven't so be exact and clear. I expect better from such a prestigious school.

      Kevin Krause Good comments. I’m here looking how to tie Beef Braciole. As you say it’s not rocket science...I’ll figure something out to secure the contents. However having this gentleman slow down to teach would make for a more instructional video. In fact, and I’ve made these years ago, this video was not helpful at all. He moves his hands too quickly. Instructional videos typically are zoomed in on more , motions are repeated and the actions are slowed down. Perhaps not necessarily the guys fault. If this is as you say a reputable school they should have figured that out or asked for input.
