Heat a large, coated pan without fat very strongly. Add 75-100 ml mineral water, bring to the boil. Add meat immediately, allow water to evaporate. Fry meat for approx. 1 1/2 minutes until a brown crust has formed. Add another 75 ml of mineral water, turn the meat, let the water evaporate again and brown the meat.
