Beef can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, roasting, sautéing, and pan-frying. Here are some steps for pan-frying beef:
Prepare the beef: Cut the beef into thin, evenly sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the pan: Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over high heat until it is very hot.
Add oil: Add a small amount of oil to the pan, making sure to coat the bottom evenly.
Sear the beef: Add the beef to the pan in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
Remove the beef from the pan: Once the beef is browned, remove it from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
Add any additional ingredients: If desired, add additional ingredients to the pan, such as garlic or onions, and cook until they are softened.
Return the beef to the pan: Return the beef to the pan and cook until it is heated through.
Serve: Serve the beef with your preferred sides, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
Note: The cooking time will vary depending on the cut of beef and the desired degree of doneness. A meat thermometer can be used to check the internal temperature of the beef, with 145°F (63°C) being the recommended temperature for medium-rare.
