How to Slice Meat Thinly

1. Put the premium-quality meat in a single layer in a large freezer bag.
2. Remove the air from bag and close tightly.
3. Put on a metal tray (so the heat transfers faster) and freeze the meat for 1½ to 2 hours, depending on the size of the piece of meat and how fatty it is.

To Slice the Meat

1. Take out the meat from the freezer. Each piece shown here is 1 pound and I froze them for 1½ hours.
2. The meat is ready if the knife goes through smoothly and just firm enough for you to slice thinly. If you have trouble slicing because the meat is still too soft, put it back into the freezer until it‘s firmer.
3. Slice against the grain using a gentle sawing motion. When you look at the meat, you will see the fibers of the meat are going in one direction. You need to cut across this grain in the other direction to ensure tenderness.
4. Here is the thinly-sliced meat, ready to use in your recipe.

To Store

1. You can wrap the meat in plastic wrap, put in a freezer bag, and store in the freezer for future use.
