Stir-fry for 1 â€" 2 more minutes to blend the flavors. Serve hot. *How to Cut Beef Across the Grain Pick up a cut of flank steak or (beef) shoulder steak and you will notice that it has lines or "grains" running across it. These are the muscle fibers. To cut the steak across the grain, cut perpendicular to these fibers. If you cut the meat along the fibers, it will turn out very tough.
