Tail Cut

Tail-cut of Tope is smaller and faster-cooking. Fold thin ends under for even heat in sauced dishes. As a tail cut section of steak, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep tope tail cut iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Frying, grilling, and curries suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame dense mild white flesh.
