Meat in a Hurry

Quick-Cooking Meats and Quick-Cooking Methods: On hurried evenings, I get dinner on the table by relying on an arsenal of basic, uncomplicated recipes that make the best use of quick-cooking methods and quick-cooking meats. These are the times when I serve the tender cuts of meat like pork chops, lamb steaks, and ground beef that can be cooked the speediest ways I know how: stir-frying and sautéing, or baking when I’m also trying to avoid fat. (I rarely broil because it’s too messy and involves tiresome clean-up.)
