How to cook flank steak?

Flank steak When properly prepared, it is especially tender and aromatic. The flank steak is lean and usually 2-3cm thick and weighs around 700-1000 grams. In the USA it is part of the standard range in almost every supermarket. In this country it is more difficult to get a good flank steak. The German butchers often do not know the cut and the flank ends up in the minced meat or sausage. And if you are lucky enough to get a flank, it is often tough because it has not matured long enough. That's why I swear primarily about US goods that can be bought in the wholesale market (Metro and Handelshof). But not everyone has the opportunity to shop there.

How to become a private investigator?

Since the designation of the profession as a private detective is not legally protected in Germany, you can theoretically call yourself a private detective after registering as a business. The job title is not linked to an apprenticeship or the like. There is also no state vocational training for private investigators in Germany. Training comes before learning by doing But the job title detective alone is not enough. Because if you have no idea of ​​the profession, then you cannot do the job properly. This is exactly the same as with all other professions. “Learning by doing” is certainly not the right way to go. The path to the private detective profession is therefore often followed by people who come from related professions: Electronics technician for the areas of eavesdropping and video surveillance Middle service officials (police, federal police, customs) Lawyers For career changers in the private detective profession, training through the ZAD is ideal.
