Grill, broil, or fry stovetop: Works best for Steaks but cook medium to medium rare for good flavor. All steaks continue cooking after removed from the heat source.

Stew: Cut into pieces, brown, then simmer in liquid until tender. Works best for stew meat, round steak or any other piece of meat cut to recipe specifications.
