Traditional fried beef
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Instead of a beef steak, you can use pre-sliced beef pieces. If desired, you can add a small amount of red wine to the beef. Fried beef goes well with mashed potatoes, as well as stewed or fresh vegetables. The finished dish can be served at the table.

1. If you're using a beef steak, place it on a cutting board and trim off the large piece of fat. Then slice the steak into strips about 2.5 cm wide. Turn the board and cut the meat strips into small pieces. If you see any large pieces of fat or cartilage, cut them off.
