To slice meat without a meat slicer, first partially freeze the meat for about 30-60 minutes; the firmer texture makes it easier to cut thin slices. Use a sharp chef's knife and hold the meat firmly. Slice against the grain in smooth, even strokes. Keep your fingers safely tucked away to avoid accidents. This method is ideal for preparing dishes like stir-fries or deli-style sandwiches.
