Now, last week we have told you what our “Boere-German” restaurateur - Johann Cronjé - does to “wow” patrons at his Savanna restaurant in Munich, Germany and explained that he was actually taught both recipes by the Germans and not the other way round as we would have expected. But when it comes to meat, yes, then nobody can tell a South African how it’s done right? Wrong, says Johann and you’d be surprised to hear that the Germans have a unique and for most of us South Africans, quite excessive taste when it comes to “maturing” a great cut of meat.
But yes as Johann points out - no-one will have to teach a South African how to braai, but perhaps Johann can add a few hints and tips on what the German have taught him on the preparation of meat - whether it’s on the open fire or inside.
But first, a really wonderful and easy monkey gland sauce that you can prepare yourself an hour or so before your guests turn up for an evening around the fire. This will ad some “extra spice” to your evening and in particular your steak!
