The Secret to Perfect Meat Sauté Recipe

Instead of washing the meat, let it drain in a colander to remove the blood. After drying it with paper towels, transfer it to the pan. Using lean, tender cuts of meat, like tenderloin, cut specifically for sautéing, positively affects the result and shortens the cooking time.

How to Make Meat Stir-Fry?

  • To make the meat sauté, first heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron pan. Add 1 finely chopped onion to the pan.
  • Add 3 chopped green peppers to the browned onions and continue sautéing.
  • Add 600 grams of diced beef.
  • To prevent it from releasing its juices and to preserve its flavor and vitamin content, sear it over high heat for about 2-3 minutes without stirring.
  • Continue sautéing the meat over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the outside is browned.
  • Add 3 peeled and chopped tomatoes and stir. Then add 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of thyme.
  • Dilute one teaspoon of tomato paste and half a teaspoon of red pepper paste with one cup of hot water, then add it to the pan gradually.
  • Simmer over low heat until the meat is tender.
  • Once the meat is tender, transfer the sautéed meat, along with its delicious juices, to serving plates and serve hot. The sautéed meat is ready! Enjoy!

Helpful Information: How to Sear Red Meat When Cooking?

Let's assume you haven't marinated the meat. Pat the room-temperature meat dry with paper towels. Just before cooking, season both sides of the meat with freshly ground black pepper and salt (a method often called "seasoning"). Use sea salt if possible. This will prevent the meat from releasing its juices during searing and will lock in its flavor. Heat a cast iron pan on the stove for about ten minutes, until it starts to smoke. If you're cooking a steak with fatty veins, don't grease the pan. For other meats, use a very small amount of olive oil and spread it on the bottom. Once the pan is hot, place the meat in it and let it cook. For more information: How to Sear Red Meat When Cooking?
