What each ingredient does
- Tripe
- Is the main protein, cooked over direct heat so its outer surface browns.
- Butter
- Adds richness and a smooth finish when spread over the hot tripe.
The step that matters
Cook gently until one side is a fine brown. Gentle heat lets the tripe cook through while its surface browns. Fierce heat would scorch the outside before the inside is tender.
