What each ingredient does

Beef palates
Braising softens the tough connective tissue so the palates become tender enough to cut into cutlets.
Glaze
Warming the palates in the glaze coats them in a glossy, savoury layer that adds shine and flavour.
Ravigote sauce
Its herbs and sharp, acidic notes contrast with the rich, gelatinous meat.

The step that matters

Braise the beef palates until tender. Palates are rich in connective tissue that only breaks down into gelatin with long, gentle cooking. If they are cut before they are fully tender, the cutlets will stay tough and chewy.
