Steak from any meat will be juicier if it is pre-marinated. It is the marinade that plays an important role in shaping the taste of the finished dish.
Marinades can be used in different ways, but it is very desirable that it includes ingredients containing acids. They soften the meat well, which makes the steaks more tender.
We like marinade with soy sauce. Steaks in this marinade acquire a peculiar, unusual taste and aroma.

To prevent the steaks from getting stiff and dry, it is necessary to use fresh, high-quality meat of young birds for cooking.
If the meat is frozen, it needs to be properly thawed. It is best to put the steaks out of the chamber overnight in the refrigerator. With slow defrosting, less juice will be released from the meat.
