Tips
- Use a chef’s knife or bench scraper to cut; press straight down and back up rather than dragging the blade through the meat.
- Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Freeze by layering flat in a quart-size freezer bag.
- They thaw quickly, making them suitable to take from the freezer in the morning and have thawed by lunch.
