Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with diamond cut steak. That's right.

00:09

I'm going to show you a very cool knife trick which can help turn the toughest, cheapest cuts of steak into something more tender, more flavorful, and I think we can all agree much cooler looking.

00:21

And even though we're going to focus on the method, I am going to show you something very delicious later using a diamond cut steak. And to get started,

00:31

I bought some top round. And since this piece was about 10 ounces, I decided to

00:58

01:01

beefy flavor, but it also tends to be pretty tough and kind of chewy. So, I thought it was the ideal choice to give this technique a try. Oh,

01:14

working with in the fridge. And then as far as the actual diamond cutting technique goes,

01:21

all we need to do is make some 45deree angled cuts about halfway through the meat, spacing them every quarter inch or so. And while you

01:28

can slice a little more than halfway through, the only way to mess this up would be to cut all the way through. So be careful not to do that. Otherwise,

01:38

you'll just end up with strips of meat and then you'll have to convince
