The shoulder looks too large to pan fry. Is it possible you mean to cut a steak off it and pan fry that?
Hi Len,
This recipe uses one of our petite shoulder tender steaks, which tend to weigh a little over half a pound. If you’re talking about a shoulder roast, you’re right that it would be too large to fry, and you’d want to slow roast it in either the oven or a slow cooker. Hopefully this helps!
This cut was absolutely delicious. Just the right amount.
And prepared with Linnaea’s recipe, simply YUM!
