Gather Ingredients:
Make sure to get all your ingredients prepped and ready so you can add them to the pan with ease. Chop vegetables to uniform sizes and shapes and aim for cuts of meat in the same thickness.
Start with Protein:
Since meats will take the longest to cook, start with proteins first. Then you add potatoes and other hearty vegetables after a few minutes, and everything else a few minutes after that.
Ingredient Placement:
Position meat in the center of the pan where it can absorb the most heat, then scatter veggies and other ingredients on the sides. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, otherwise you may get an uneven cook.
