– When frying beef, it is better to use a frying pan with a ribbed top surface – this will allow the beef meat to be fried, and not stewed in its own juice.

– If tough beef is used for frying, it is recommended to marinate the meat in soy sauce, mustard, honey or lemon juice. It is recommended to marinate tough beef for at least 3 hours.
– If the beef turned out tough, you can fix it: return the meat to the pan with oil, pour in a little water, add sour cream and simmer for 10 minutes. You can also boil the meat in milk or cream, in a mixture of wine and soy sauce, in cucumber pickle.
