Description

James Beard nominee and Bravo's "Top Chef" contestant Chef John Tesar reveals the secrets to cooking the purest, beefiest, most delicious steak you've ever tasted.
"I've had some phenomenal meals at Knife. Tesar really knows how to cook a steak, and this great book shows you how he does it!" – Aaron Franklin, author of The New York Times bestseller, Franklin Barbecue

No one cooks a steak like legendary chef John Tesar. In his first ever cookbook, Knife reveals Chef Tesar's secrets to cooking the purest, beefiest, most delicious steak you've ever tasted. Infused with the flavor of Texas and Tesar's culinary genius, Knife goes "Back to the Pan," and shows you the method for cooking the perfect steak. Tesar doesn't stop at steak, though; this book is full of recipes for cooking lamb, pork, veal, and the best burgers ever. Tesar also offers up the recipes to his signature sides: Roasted Okra, Avocado Fries, and Bacon Jam, and foolproof versions of classic sauces. With recipes for your favorite juicy cuts of meat, as well as techniques for making mouthwatering dishes from underrated cheaper cuts, Knife is devoted to the celebration of steak in every form.

        April 3, 2017
        In his debut cookbook, Tesar, who runs various Dallas restaurants, cuts right to the chase, beginning with steak prepared with a straightforward method he calls “back to the pan.” That pan should be carbon steel and the recipe includes only salt, pepper, a little oil, and lots of attention. Before firing up the stove, readers are confronted with a lengthy biography of Tesar (writing with James Beard–winning author Mackay), covering his salad days in the Hamptons and his Manhattan training under the tutelage of Anthony Bourdain. Then he provides 40 pages of beef and equipment basics, covering types of cuts, grass-fed and grain-fed cows, and the joys of a portable gas burner. Despite his Texas residency, Tesar has no fondness for charcoal grills, even for burgers, as he demonstrates in a chapter that includes a classic patty melt recipe and a brief, smart rant on the structural and textural integrity of sandwiches. He strays away from beef for a sriracha pork belly sandwich, tuna tartare, and exactly one dessert (a chocolate coffee tart), but, with the help of Mackay and juicy photos by Dallas photographer Kevin Marple, Tesar returns again and again to perfecting the preparation of red meat.
