# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen when it actually takes less time than ordering takeout.
- Quality beef shows through without fussy techniques or heavy sauces drowning the flavor.
- You can have it on the table on a weeknight without stress, gluten-free without sacrificing taste.
02 -
- Beef continues cooking slightly after you remove it from the heat, so pull it a touch earlier than you think you should.
- Overcrowding the pan drops the temperature and steams the beef instead of searing it—work in batches if you need to.
- The marinade only needs ten minutes; longer doesn't help and can actually make the texture mushy.
03 -
- Ask your butcher to slice the beef for you—they have the right knives and it saves you ten minutes of careful work.
- Room temperature beef marinates more evenly and cooks faster than cold beef straight from the fridge.
