- 1 cupcake mold

- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- ยฝ cup cranberries frozen
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 pinch cinnamon ground
- 1 pinch nutmeg

Instructions
- Prepare everything you need. It is advisable to use fresh beef steaks, not frozen ones. Here the thickness is 3 centimeters, so they can be cooked in a pan. Thicker ones should be fried either on the grill or in the oven.
- Before starting work, be sure to take the meat out of the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to fully warm up to room temperature. This will take 1-1.5 hours. Place it on a paper or cloth towel. Also blot the top, there should not be a drop of liquid left anywhere.2 pcs beef
- Brush with vegetable oil using a culinary brush.
- Heat the pan until a white smoke starts to rise above its surface. Place the steaks with the oiled side down. Fry for 2 minutes over high heat. During this time, brush the top side with oil.1 tsp vegetable oil
- Turn over and hold for the same amount of time. It is best to use tongs to flip, as they do not damage the meat fibers. If you see that the meat starts to dry out, add a little more oil.
- Now reduce the heat to medium and fry for another 2 minutes on each side. And on low heat, hold for the same amount of time. As a result, the meat will cook for 6 minutes on each side, in general, it will take 12 minutes to fry the steaks. In this version, the meat will be pink inside, but not raw, and there will be a clear separation into fibers. For medium roasting, add another 1-2 minutes on low heat, for fully cooked – the same on each side. Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover with foil, and let them ‘rest’ for 7-10 minutes. This is a very important moment, as during this time the steak reaches the desired readiness, and the meat juices are redistributed inside.
- For the sauce, add cranberries to the pan where the meat was fried, frozen ones do not need to be thawed. Pour in a little rice vinegar. This will deglaze the roastings, which will become one of the components of the sauce and improve its taste.ยฝ cup cranberries, 1 tsp rice vinegar
