To make a delicious and juicy steak, you need to choose the right piece of meat. For meat, as for all products, quality is a decisive factor. Let’s figure out how to choose the right meat.
Look at each steak carefully and thoroughly. If you want the steak to remain juicy and tender when grilled, there should be a lot of white or yellow grease in the meat part. It is such meat that is called marbled.
Do not trim this desired fat from the steak. The fat helps keep the steak juicy and maintain its shape during cooking. It also improves the taste of meat. If you still want to trim excess fat, do so before serving.
Correct meat flavor. The meat should smell like meat, and the aroma should be light and almost subtle. The stronger the smell, the less fresh the meat.
The steak must be of the correct thickness for proper browning. A good steak should be at least 2.5 cm thick.
Choose steaks based on their marbling. The lower the degree, the tougher the beef. Prime is the highest grade, most tender meat. The choice is medium and the selection is minimum and the toughest meat.
Want a perfectly cooked steak – buy a meat and steak thermometer. There is nothing better than using a digital thermometer to instantly and easily know that the steak is ready. And no guesswork is needed.
According to butchers, the best steak is Ribeye steak. From the point of view of tenderness, maximum juiciness, as well as rich aroma, this steak is ideal.
I hope now it will be easier for you to choose and prepare the most delicious steaks!
Paris impresses with an incredible variety of restaurants and cafes, a visit to which can become an original gastronomic discovery. But there are quite a few places in the city where people tend to go not so much because of the outstanding cuisine, but because of the unusual setting and atmosphere.
Derrière
In the courtyards, not far from the center of Georges Pompidou, a very unusual restaurant is hidden, somewhat reminiscent of Bulgakov’s “bad apartment.” Guests of Derrière literally get “home” – this is how the apartment of an elderly Parisian grandmother, to whom you stopped by, might look like. Antique furniture, bubbling old wallpaper, and cracks in the ceiling are not evidence of the owners’ poverty, but an original interior move by the designers of Studio Pepe.
69 Rue des Gravilliers, Paris 75003
Roger La Grenouille
Hostess Jacqueline Laporte and her assistants made sure that the guests took their food in a good mood. On the doorstep, you will smile at the funny design of the restaurant. Hanging from the ceiling are hats, toys, bowlers, trinkets, and various other “old market treasures”. The menu is dominated by unforgettable frog legs. If you are mentally ready to devour frogs, there is no better place for this. You can also taste piglet, duck, salmon. And by all means, order the “Surprise dessert”. We will not reveal the secret, but it is, indeed, a pleasant surprise.
28 rue des grands augustins, Paris, 75006
La Bellevilloise
La Bellevilloise, an independent, interdisciplinary Parisian cultural institution, located on the site of the former first co-op, which was founded in 1877. Today, its 2,000 m² space on 4 floors is dedicated to all forms of expression and experimentation: concerts, exhibitions, café discussions, projections, cinema mixes, film concerts, and parades. There is also a clubhouse and cafe/restaurant on site. Bellevilloise, a place to meet, communicate and exchange views, is open to everyone. It is also an architectural heritage site worth discovering.
21 rue Boyer, 75020 Paris
Sur Un Arbre Perché
Sur Un Arbre Perché is a restaurant in Paris located near the Opera. The restaurant is known for its unusual interior – a swing is placed in its hall, as well as a small fountain in the form of a water wall. Additional comfort is created by candles and the soft lighting of chandeliers.
1 Rue du 4 Septembre, 75002 Paris

The peculiarity of the establishment is that all dishes are prepared right in front of the guests on a huge firebox! Sample Japanese cuisine at Kokohana.

Del Posto
One of the most sought after and luxurious establishments in New York is the Del Posto restaurant, which occupies the first and second floors of an apartment building on 10th Avenue. Its menu features traditional Italian and American cuisine. Basically, the entire city elite gathers here, therefore, getting inside the institution you feel like an aristocrat – luxurious dishes, furniture with leather upholstery, decorative elements – all the most expensive and stylish. The interior of “Del Posto” is designed in a classic style with some Art Nouveau elements.
In a city where new bars and restaurants are constantly opening, old and revered favorites take on a different meaning. Given the speed at which many New Yorkers’ favorite places are being closed – due to high rents, change of ownership, and city bureaucracy – it’s especially important to value establishments that stay afloat. Below is a list of the oldest and most iconic restaurants in New York City.
Fraunces Tavern
The Fraunces Tavern is a museum and restaurant that commemorates key events in American history. In a small modest house, now surrounded by skyscrapers, events took place that determined the face of the country. In the tavern and restaurant – beer is no worse than what the officers of the Continental Army drank here, seeing off their commander with tears in their eyes.
Address: 54 Pearl St, New York, NY 10004, United States
Ear Inn
Founded in 1817, The Ear Inn began as a bar for sailors and workers who worked on the Hudson. The federal-style house of James Brown, which housed the bar of the same name, dates from the late 1700s. As shipping increased, coastline expanded, and trade grew, The Ear Inn was a haven of lawlessness – a place where men could drink, play, and have fun while women were forbidden from entering. The Ear Inn is the oldest bar in New York – and hasn’t changed much since the first drinks were poured here.
Back in the 1990s, the area where The Ear is located was shady, even dangerous, rather than adjacent to Soho, the luxuriously furnished area it is today. The bar remained unnamed until the 1970s when its owners gave it its current name. This bar is more likely to see models and bankers than sailors in this bar these days. Choose from a wide range of beers and cocktails and burgers, which are great here.
Address: 326 Spring St, New York, NY 10013, United States
Neir’s Tavern
Paradoxically, one of the oldest bars in the city, which is already 190 years old, is one of the least known, despite its colorful history. Neir’s Tavern is located in Woodhaven, Queens, about an hour subway ride from Midtown Manhattan. Perhaps this is the reason why this place is not as famous as others on this list. The bar opened in 1829 to serve visitors to the nearby Union Course Race Track. The Neir family acquired the property around the turn of the 20th century and called it the Neir’s Social Hall. In those days, there was a ballroom, hotel rooms, and a bowling alley.
However, the institution’s fame is not limited to its longevity. The bar’s website says that a young American actress Mae West may have performed there. It was a popular location in Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed 1990 film Goodfellas.
Address: 87-48 78th St, Woodhaven, NY 11421, United States
Delmonico’s
Delmonico’s was founded by a Swiss émigré. Giovanni Del Monico was from the Italian canton of Ticino in Switzerland. As you know, the alpine republic is landlocked, but Delmonico was a captain by profession. Having saved some funds, he settled in New York, where he took up the wine trade. Meanwhile, Giovanni’s brother, Pietro, worked in Switzerland as a pastry chef.
Having moved to New York, he, in partnership with his brother, a wine merchant, opened a confectionery, which in 1830 grew into a restaurant. Delmonico’s opened its doors to the public in 1830, and, despite its Italian name, proudly posted on the sign: French Restaurant. Not only in those years but also in our time, somewhere before the seventies of the twentieth century, in America it was considered completely unthinkable to call a restaurant “Italian”. But a gourmet restaurant could have been exclusively French – and nothing else.
Address: 56 Beaver St, New York, NY 10004, United States
Chumley’s
This iconic site was founded by Leland Chumley in 1922 as a private club for members of the socialist union. After the union collapsed, during Prohibition, Chumley’s turned into an underground bar. The bar’s management paid the local police to avoid raids, after which other establishments were usually closed. Famous writers of the early 20th century drank in this bar, including the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, John Steinbeck, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Their portraits and portraits of Hollywood movie stars such as Humphrey Bogart hang on the walls above the glass display cases, creating a literary atmosphere for the salon. The bar, with its working fireplace and glassware, immerses you in a 1920s atmosphere.
Chumley’s restaurant closed for almost 10 years in 2007 due to an accident at a construction site, but it was cleverly renovated and refurbished by Alessandro Borgognone and Daisuke Nakazawa, who reopened the restaurant in 2016. If you plan to visit it, keep in mind: there is no sign outside, the only number 86 on the door.
Address: Chumley’s, 86 Bedford St, New York, NY 10014, +1(212)675-2081
Pete’s Tavern
O. Henry loved this bar. He often visited it and wrote several of his famous stories here. In particular, here he wrote the story “The Lost Recipe”. The story takes place in this very bar, which, however, in the story has a different name – Kenealy’s. This is a well-known literary fact. In addition, here O. Henry wrote his New Year’s masterpiece – the story “Gifts of the Magi”.
Subsequently, the bar was chosen by filmmakers. Many scenes from the series Law & Order, Sex and the City, Sister Jackie, as well as the films Ragtime, directed by Milos Forman and Infinite Love, directed by Franco Zeffirelli, were filmed here. You can also visit this bar. As for the interior, of course, it has changed significantly over time. True, the entrance to the bar remained practically the same – large display windows and a double door between them. That is why the bar is recognizable.
Address: 129 E 18th St, New York, NY 10003, United States
Old Town Bar
This old bar, opened in 1892, has become a favorite meeting place for residents and visitors alike. The charm of the establishment lies in its surroundings – creaky stairs leading to the second floor, urinals in the men’s room dating from 1910, a still working dumbwaiter – envelop the establishment with a special atmosphere. Films (“The Last Days of the Disco”), music videos (Jump Around for House of Pain), and TV shows (Letterman of the 1980s) were filmed here. For a long time, it has been an unassuming haven for artists and creatives from all over the world. The walls of the establishment are adorned with photographs of patrons such as the poet Seamus Heaney and the author of the novel “Angela’s Ashes” by Frank McCourt.
Gerard Meager, the owner, and local historian says the bar “really thrived” during Prohibition, its most enduring attribute being the sense of belonging and camaraderie of its patrons.

Whitehorse Tavern
This establishment holds the title of the second oldest continuously operating tavern in New York, which opened in 1880. The tavern always has something to offer visitors. In winter, this is a welcoming bar where you can enjoy a game on the large TV hanging in the left corner of the bar. The atmosphere here is very calm and there are not too many people. However, the situation changes dramatically late on Friday or Saturday nights, when noisy parties take place here, and gin and tonic flow like a river. If you love beer, order a draft.
Welsh native Dylan Thomas was a regular at the bar, and Jack Kerouac patronized the bar. Now in its heyday, it is an iconic corner spot in Greenwich Village.
Address: 567 Hudson St, New York, NY 10014, United States

Tangelos are considered to be a type of tangerine and are noted for their juiciness and mildly sweet flavor. Tangelos (Citrus paradisi x Citrus reticulata) are hybrids of the tangerine and either the pomelo or the grapefruit. The first fruit hybrid was produced by Dr. Walter T. Swingle and Dr. Herbert J. Webber in 1911, and has been available in the market ever since.
While it’s often erroneously believed to be genetically modified, the tangelo is actually a product of natural hybridization and does not require genetic manipulation for its production.
Compared to oranges, tangerines are smaller in size and have a looser peel, which is easy to remove. These characteristics of tangerines make them an ideal snack.
Tangelos are also widely known as the honeybell fruit, which is a hybrid fruit.
They are a cross between the pomelo/grapefruit, and the mandarin orange.
The Minneola variety is identified by its knob-like formation at the stem, and its deep orange color.
Mandarin oranges are a cross between a tangerine and an orange.
Tangerines have a deep orange color too, and a pebbly texture peel which is easy to remove.
You can enjoy the fruit raw, cook it, add it to salads, etc.
It is best eaten raw and is easy to peel. You can have the fruit or its juice during breakfast.
Fresh and raw pieces can also be added to salads.
You can use tangelos for recipes that require oranges for cooking but make sure you add them near the end of the cooking time so the fruits don’t break down.
One of the most asked questions about this fruit is, “Do tangelos have seeds?” It’s interesting that unlike other citrus fruits, tangelos actually have little to no seeds. The amount of seeds largely depends on the environment where the trees thrive.
Tangelo trees that are surrounded by other trees of their kind often produce fruits that have little to no seeds, while tangelo trees that are near tangerine or orange trees often contain small seeds.
Aside from their sweet and zesty taste, another reason that you should consider eating tangelos is that they can offer you a handful of health benefits.
Tangelos, being the hybrid of the tangerine and pomelo/grapefruit, contain the nutritional benefits of both of these fruits.
The tangelo fruit has been used in jams, marmalade, and cakes, and has also been included in salads and main dishes. Sliced segments of the fruit are also used as a decorative garnish, while its juice can provide a tangy twist to marinades and sauces.
Tangelos can also be used as a substitute for mandarin oranges, grapefruits, and even lemons.

The stalls of food markets in Southeast Asia are simply bursting with an abundance of outlandish fruits for us, especially in Thailand. In this country, tourists’ eyes run up from the fruit variety, and many of them opt for one very unusual fruit, similar to a small red nut and covered with long fleshy hairs. This is rambutan – one of the most popular fruits in this country.
According to local legend, rambutan in Thailand appeared quite a by accident. It was brought by a Chinese or Malaysian tin miner who moved from Penang to Thailand and settled in the town of Surat Thani. He brought with him 5 seedlings of this fruit tree. A few years later, he was forced to return, and the rambutan planted in the garden began to grow and bear unusual and surprisingly tasty fruits.
Years later, this land was acquired by the Ministry of Education and built a school there. A separate school garden was created for the overgrown rambutan trees. As a result, this fruit was called ngo rongrian, which translates as “school rambutan”. This name was firmly fixed for them and is still used today. Its Indonesian name rambut is translated as “hair”. I think it’s clear why.
Rambutan outwardly resembles a small nut 3 to 6 cm in diameter, covered with red or yellow skin and decorated with long fleshy green hairs. These fruits grow in clusters of up to 30 pieces.
The rambutan fruit tree itself is a tall evergreen tree with wide, spreading foliage. The leaves are oval or ovoid. During the flowering period, the crown of the tree is covered with small flowers collected in branched inflorescences.
The harvest period lasts from May to September.
In rambutan, they eat a translucent, juicy pulp of milky white color, very rich in vitamin C, minerals (phosphorus, iron, calcium), as well as carbohydrates, protein, and niacin.
There are 2 types of rambutan: Rongrian (round, with bright red skin, greenish hairs, and sweet flesh) and Si Chom Phu (egg-shaped, with pink skin and pink tendrils, not as sweet as Rongrian).
The fruit’s hair is a great shelter for ants, so shake the fruit thoroughly before peeling it.
Rambutan is eaten in any form. It is eaten like this, peeled from the skin, and various jams and preserves are made from it. The pulp of the fruit is also used as a filling for pies, as an ingredient in salads, etc.
It is important to present this fruit correctly. There is a cleaning method for this. First, you need to make a small circular incision around the fruit, and then carefully remove the thin skin from one part by pulling on the hairs. It comes off easily. Leave the second part untouched and use it as a convenient holder for the rest of the fruit. The pulp is eaten carefully, trying not to touch the bones, which can spoil the whole taste. On the table, the fruits themselves and dishes from them are served chilled.
Rambutans spoil rather quickly, so it is recommended to use them immediately. The maximum shelf life in the refrigerator is 7 days.
Thailand’s annual income from the sale of these fruits is about $ 12 million. This fruit even has its own holiday – School Rambutan Day, which is celebrated in August.
Although the sweet’s biography is only a few decades old, this unusual fruit has already gained a whole army of fans. True, for domestic consumers this selection product is still unusual, but many are already looking at it with interest when they see the green giant on store shelves.
Indeed, the dimensions of this representative of citrus crops are striking in their scale: the size of one fruit is equivalent to two large apples. But this miracle of selection amazes not only with its parameters. The exotic fruit has a rich composition, so it is good for human health. But since Sweetie is not familiar to the general public, it’s time to introduce him.
Indeed, the main characteristic of the sweets is its sweetish pleasant taste. But this is not the only name for the fruit. The fruit is often called “pomelo” because it resembles its relative, the pomelo. American farmers call it in the Spanish manner – “oroblanco” or in literal translation – “white gold”.
However, any name does not change the unique composition and beneficial properties of the tropical fruit, which was born thanks to the efforts of Israeli scientists. The breeders decided to cross a grapefruit and a pomelo, and as a result, they got a hybrid in which all the best qualities of the “parents” were combined. The exact date of the experiment has not been established, but the fact that Israeli scientists in 1984 applied for a patent to the University of California is a known fact.
True, the Americans decided to use the novelty for their own commercial purposes. They began to study the Israeli product in their own laboratories. Then very quickly, enterprising farmers took over the initiative and began to grow the Israeli hybrid. All these events affected the fate of oroblanco, and many lovers of citrus fruits still believe that the birthplace of this unusual fruit is America, not Israel.
Since sweetie is a direct descendant of white grapefruit and pomelo, its basic characteristics are largely the same as those of these two citrus fruits. As a product of selection, Oroblanko surpasses its parents in some respects.
Besides, Oroblanko contains more enzymes that can break down fats than pomelo. Although pomelo also has such abilities, given the more pleasant taste of the selected fruit, nutritionists recommend that it be included in the nutritional diet of sick and losing weight people.
To this list of benefits, it is worth adding a large percentage of essential oils. There are especially many of these useful components in the peel of the fruit. Even with a short contact with the fruit, traces of fat that are difficult to wash off remain on the hands.
The chemical composition of the citrus hybrid is a well-balanced formula of a huge number of nutrients. In total, this set includes several dozen components that the human body needs.
The energy value of tropical fruit is in the range of 50-60 kcal, which is considered an excellent indicator for inclusion in the diet of obese people. But those who do not experience serious problems in this matter, but simply want to improve their body shape, can also supplement the menu with light meals with the participation of this low-calorie product.
To date, the Sweetie is well studied. At the beginning of this century, the famous researcher Shela Gorinstein conducted clinical tests on 72 patients with high levels of harmful cholesterol. All volunteers were divided into three groups. For a whole month, the first group was given daily 100 ml of fresh fruit juice, the second – 200 ml. Participants of the third group did not receive juice at all.
The results of the experiment showed that in the patients who took the largest amount of juice, the content of proteins in the blood, which are involved in the formation of blood clots, decreased. Therefore, tropical fruit juice is quite suitable as a prophylactic agent for the prevention of various cardiovascular pathologies.
Fruit peel oil is an excellent anti-cellulite and anti-stress agent. And a bath with sweetie peel will instantly relieve fatigue and charge you with vital energy.
The anti-cancer property will help prevent the development of oncology, and if a man drinks half a glass of fresh polite juice every day, such a diet will benefit the heart and cleanse blood vessels from cholesterol. After all, it has long been proven that the male part of the population is more susceptible to cardiovascular pathologies than women.
Since sweetie promotes the active removal of toxic products from the body, it must be consumed by people employed in hazardous industries, as well as by those who live in regions with an unfavorable environmental situation.
Japanese quince (Chaenomeles) is a shrub that is most often used as an ornamental plant (it has unusually bright orange-red flowers). However, its fruits are edible and very healthy.
Chaenomeles is the fruit of a Japanese or flowering quince. The shape is a ball with an upper part protruding like a mushroom cap.
