How to marinate fried beef to make it tender?

Fried beef is a common dish in daily life. The beef needs to be marinated before frying. After marinating, the fried beef will taste more tender. Therefore, marinating is very important. First of all, you should buy raw beef of relatively good quality, and then start marinating. Another thing to note is that the marinating time should not be too long, which will cause the marinated ingredients to cover up the aroma of the beef. Also, be careful when cutting the beef. Do not cut it too thin. Cutting it too thin will cause the meat to not lock in the freshness, which will greatly affect the taste. In addition, when frying the beef, the pan must be hot, and it is best to have a little smoke, which is the best temperature.

2. Heat the steak pan until white smoke comes out slightly, then add the butter and melt it. I used the fat shaved from the beef. If you don't have any, regular cooking oil will work just fine. Add the steak and fry slowly over low heat.

3. Fry over low heat until the juice oozes out of the surface of the steak, then change to medium-low heat, turn over and continue frying. The specific frying time depends on the thickness of the steak. I fried it on one side for about 2 minutes.

4. If the steak is thick, you can use tongs to hold it and fry the sides. This will better lock in the gravy and prevent it from losing.

Tips for frying tender steak

1. When buying steak, it is best to choose freshly cut raw meat taken out from the supermarket cold storage. Or imported fresh, cut frozen steak cubes sealed in plastic. Don't buy the pre-pickled ones from the supermarket. One is that it is not fresh enough, and most of the time, it is cut very thinly to make it more flavorful. In addition, if the food is marinated for a long time, the original flavor will be covered by various sauces.

2. When cutting the steak, don’t cut it too thin. Many friends think that it will be easier to fry if it is cut thinly. In fact, it is not good to be too thin or too thick. If it is too thin, the steak will be overcooked, lose its taste, and the gravy will be lost too quickly. It was too thick and burnt on the outside, but still raw on the inside. I personally think that if you cut it 1-2cm thick it would be better.

3. When frying steak, the pan must be hot. It is best to heat the pan until a slight white smoke comes out. Only when the pan is hot enough can the moisture of the steak be locked instantly and prevent it from losing and drying out.

4. After the steak is fried, if you don’t eat it immediately, you can also put it in the oven and heat it at low temperature to keep it warm. But it should not be left for too long, it should be eaten as soon as possible.

5. It is recommended to pair steak with refreshing vegetables as a side dish. There is nothing more enjoyable than a bite of meat and a bite of vegetable. Vegetables can be seasoned with vinaigrette.

6. Steak can also be paired with many sauces. You can mix it yourself if you like. If you are afraid of trouble, you can also sprinkle salt and black pepper directly before eating. Today's method is the simplest.
