Phnom Penh Butter Beef Recipe
Beef
When eating raw meat, make sure to grab good quality cuts to avoid getting sick. Tenderloin will need a few hours to freeze before slicing. You can use a serrated bread knife to cut, but it will be very difficult to have consistent cuts. I recommend using a meat slicer when the loin is frozen, but if you plan on using a serrated bread knife, cut it frozen, or use a sharp Japanese knife to slice it thinly once thawed. If you are planning to make several of these dishes at once or stockpile, I would recommend placing another piece of parchment paper on top and layering to store in the freezer.
Caviar Pearl
Caviar Pearls can be tricky to make…
Agar-Agar - Add enough. Too little or too much will give a failed result.
Neutral Oil - Not olive oil, because olive oil has a very strong, distinct taste. Make sure oil is in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before pulling out to make pearls. We want the oil to be cold so the balsamic vinegar droplets can solidify before reaching the bottom.
Tall Glass/Cup - To give the droplets time to solidify before landing on the bottom.
