How To Cut Meat Against The Grain?

Identify the direction of the muscle fibers

Position the meat so the fibers run horizontally or vertically in a clear line

Place the knife perpendicular to the grain

Use a sharp knife

Slice across the fibers, not parallel to them

Cut the meat into thin slices

Keep the knife at a slight angle if needed for wider slices

Let the meat rest before slicing if it is hot or just cooked

Trim or rotate the meat as needed to maintain the cross-grain direction
