How to Cook:
Barbecue or pan-fry: coat with a little olive oil season with salt and pepper, marinating works, too.
Cook in a pre-heated frying pan or grill over moderately high heat.
For medium-rare, cook each side for 3-5 minutes or until moisture appears before flipping to cook on the other side.
For well done, cook longer until meat is firm without any sign of the juices.
Stir fry: brush meat with olive oil.
Cook in a pre-heated pan until a little brown.
Set aside and stir fry the chosen vegetables.
Add the meat cubes back and stir fry quickly.
