- 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
That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life, chef.
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.
Hands down! Best instructional video ever!! Makes me look like a pro!!!! From a CZcams video!!
I always come back to watch this video whenever I need to tie a roast. Thanks!
Thank you! That was incredibly helpful!
Thank you Chef. Your video was very helpful. I will definitely need some practice but you video saved the day and the roast.
Thank you for this video.
A properly tied roast will cook evenly.
What a nice job! Thanks for teaching/sharing! I'll be doing this tomorrow before I put my roast on the rotisserie.
Hey thanks for SHOWING us how to tie it, great camera angles, love how it changes to top view when you're tieing the loop. :-(
Yeah the camera work for this video made this totally pointless to watch. Can’t see a thing.
Ok, I wasn’t the only one…. Now I have to look for another video. So annoying….🤦🏽♂️
Might as well have been filming from the nose bleed seats
Excellent to watch a professional do his craft!
I have always wanted to learn this technique but never gave it a go. Thanks for posting this easy to follow video. Messed up my first time and then got it down pat the second time through. Took minimal practice to achieve a satisfactory result. Thanks again!
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
Thank you Chef! I used your tutorial to tie a prime rib on its way to the rotisserie. Bon appetite!!
This is great! Just used it on my deboned leg of lamb after I filled it with garlic and mint. Thank you! 😋
Nailed it! Thanks, chef!
Thanks Chef! This helped me out at work.
Brilliant.. thank you Chef so much for sharing ... well done and great video. Love AND Peace FROM CANADA !!
This is some sort of mad genius. Thanks!
i was looking for that
great video
thanks
Much easier than I thought. Thanks!
Very easy instructions. Thanks!
Great video! Thanks.
I watched this video to learn how to tie up a chocolate salami for a dessert.
Appreciate the tutorial.
Great technique!
Thanks that made it very easy!
I just tried this and doubted I'd do as well and I didn't but I came close. Thanks for the lesson.
great instructional. thank you
Did it! Thanks!
Thanks for your nice idea sharing with us its really helpful to me 🙏
Ty for this. I have been tying roasts for years the wrong way.
like a boss! good shit man
This is what I've been looking for feverishly. Thank you.
I watched this video several times and was able to tie up a pork loin roast so that it looked like it came from the butcher. First time, too. Thank you, Chef Leonard.
Wraping a gabagool we are going to cure thanks somuch your friend andy!!!!!
Thank you Chef.
Thank you chef! yes chef.
wow that looks really good I'm a butcher mself and have to string meat a lot but that is a really interesting way to do it I will have to copy this if I do this at home sometime
Very nice - thank you :)
Nice technique!
Thank you so much !
thank you chef.
You saved my life.
Thank you. I found a recipie I wanted to try, but it requiered trussing the loin and i had no clue how to start. With this video i know I can do it!
So cool chef
Thanks chef
Thanks Chef you made it look easy to do.?I always wonder how it is done.? Thanks for sharing it.?
Thanks, Chef! Just tied my first roast and your video made it way easier than I thought it would be. You're a very good teacher!
Tieing a roast is stupid and meaningless. Waste of time. Literally.
Wonderful explanation and easy to follow. I’ve always wanted to learn this, thank you!
Tks a lot!!!
thanks!
Thats a work of art ! Pitty u have to cook and eat it ......
Thank you for this. It really helps as I'm going to be doing this on Saturday with a pork leg. Also I really enjoyed the explanation as to why the meat is tied.
Does the string turns black with moisture 🤔?
I never knew to go back on itself underneath. I've always just done from one end to the other.
Scissors to remove?
man that looks good Chef, I would be honored to work Sauce that night, will you please take off your rings and watches the next time they make you shoot one of these..
Camera angles at important parts do not help at all
Agreed - it always seems to switch to the wrong angle as soon as something critical is happening!
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...
Thanks for the video chef. For my budget my fancy cut of meat is a Angus round roast lol. I want to use my rotisserie though so I needed this. Thanks!
Beautiful and relatively simple--PRACTICE! 😉
Always arrange your intervals where you plan to slice the roast, this way, string marks won't show.
This is so great. Thank you for sharing this. You are an excellent teacher!
In the tower biz that’s known as a rolling hitch.
Great job!
I once took a class with him it was amazing
Thank you, chef!
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.
👍👍👍👍👍
Magic show at 0:56. Can't see what the hell you're doing.
Good job cross contaminating the whole ball of twine.
Does the first knot that is hard to see have a name so we can look it up somewhere?
It's called a butcher's knot, there are tutorials on how to make them.
Slip knot
Now I know! Thank you for sharing. I've seen demonstrations before but it always seemed like 'slight of hand' and as if the person does not actually want to teach the process.
Merci Chef.
How u untie now ?????
Am I watching a magic trick?
Why cook it... we like it RAWW ... wit lemon juice smoked salt & pepper.
Worse camera angles when the ACTUAL tying occurs , great idea let's zoom way out.
saintEmory Yeah! WTH
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.
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.....
It's very hard to see how you do the first step and tie.
If you go over first instead of under you only have to loop it half as many times.
WHERE CAN I BUY THAT WHITE STRING AT?
Wal- Mart, Or most supermarkets will carry butcher's twine.?
THATGIRLSANI most butchers will let you have some for either free or very cheap
Take it off your Nike's 😎
This guy looks like he has never had a taco.
THANK YOU
Could you hide any harder the part about making the loop?
Yes! Finally, the correct method to tie. All the other videos here are fairly lame.
Thanks for the video sir great help!! And for all those people bitching, put some attention and listen
I can't see anything
Really couldn't see/understand how you made that first not or how you made the loops before encircling the meat each time.
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.
This is made for people with half a brain...not for complete morons. Compete morons should just have Chef cook for them.
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.
Is it me or does the tenderloin look more uneven and lumpy after tying it up?
thanks
We can't see the first knot properly thats frustrating.
Slip knot @1/2 hitches
How to tie the knot:
Step 1 - tie the knot
Step 2 - done
"Loop" concealed behind his fingers shows nothing, added to with the specific direction, over and over, "such as so." Such as no help.
It's not tht hard lol
I literally watched this twice and did it perfectly lol
man, why you did not do it slowly? we know that you can do fast, but that is the point, you made this video to teach and not for do for yourself.
thiagomanfrors you can pause video...fucking stupid useless
Why it needs to be knotted?
Cooking it while knotted allows the meat to maintain a uniform shape
Take that ring off sir.
