osstik أوستيك in the Egyptian slang means perfect. The term was first heard in an Egyptian movie then spread among youth.

It could be that she's saying since the food took so long to be cooked the liver became tough? I can't be sure though. HTH

I strongly think that it is astik but either mistyped or written in a humorous way where youth tend to make dhamma at the beginning of the word.
Astik is like the above image
I am almost sure because such meat took very long time to be cooked

Hmm, Howaida's answer makes sense though it is my first time to read such an expression.
