Chef’s tips
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain so it cooks fast and stays tender in a quick pan-fry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What beef cut is best for a quick fry?
A tender boneless cut sliced thinly against the grain works best for a fast pan-fry — thick or bone-in cuts need longer, slower cooking to become tender.
