anbraten (class 7 strong, third-person singular present brät an, past tense briet an, past participle angebraten, auxiliary haben)

1. to pan-fry quickly at great heat
2. (transitive, Austria) to flirt with, hit on

• The word refers especially to things that are fried slightly before being cooked or baked (as in a stew). With small strips of food (as in a stir-fry), however, anbraten may simply mean “fry quickly”.
