The meat dish for the second is the topic of the article, in which we will consider the two most common ways of processing meat and tell how to cook beef stroganoff, hodgepodge, goulash, gravy and much more.
Quenching
This is the easiest and surest way to cook meat. Based on this recipe, you will get:
- Hungarian goulash
- meat gravy
- stewed potatoes, etc.
For reliability it’s worth saying that all these dishes are prepared in an “original setting” in a slightly different way, but believe me, using our recommendations you will get an excellent second course.
The meat fillet must be put in a container for subsequent slow stewing. It can be either a pan or a pan. Add a piece of butter (can be replaced with vegetable), bay leaf and a large onion, cut in half. Onions should be as much as meat (volume 1: 1). Cover and simmer over very low heat for two hours or more. The time depends on the type of meat and the volume of pledged products. Beef can be stewed longer than it should be, it will only benefit from this, but pork will become worse, it is better not to overdo it. A ham or shank is ideal for this dish. Do not salt.
It is easy to prepare a meat dish for the second of such a semi-finished product. In the course can go not only meat, but also onions. If you are not an amateur, then, of course, you can remove it, but believe me, if you puree it with a blender and mix it with your favorite ketchup, you will get a wonderful pasta sauce. Having washed the onion with a fork until small pieces are formed, adding sweet paprika and spices, you will get real Hungarian goulash. You can serve it with both potatoes and rice. If you add stewed meat without onions, but with garlic and herbs to the boiled potatoes, you will get an excellent quality dish. Meat can be eaten with fresh bread and crispy salad.
The meat dish for the second. Frying
To get perfectly fried meat, there are laws:
- portioned pieces must be sent to cook only in a dry form and on a hot pan - in boiling oil, under the influence of high temperatures, a crust forms on the surface, preventing the juices from flowing out, which will make the meat divine;
- an important role is played by time (it is believed that it is better to undercook);
- meat must first be beaten off;
- kidney or neck fillet is ideal.
Sliced into strips, send to a hot pan with the addition of a small amount of vegetable oil for no more than five minutes. Then you can cook any second dish:
- meat solyanka;
- beef stroganoff;
- stew, etc.
For example, beef stroganoff would be ideal if you stew the fried meat in sour cream with spices and fried onions.
It is easy to make a meat dish for the second if, after frying the onions and carrots, add tomato puree, almost prepared pork, boiled beef and several varieties of sausages. You will get a hodgepodge. Serve with greens, olives and lemon slices.
