I remember that in Soviet times this was the most popular dish in restaurants because it was prepared incredibly quickly. Pork escalope, tasty and juicy cooked in the oven, is essentially an ordinary classic chop, but without breading or leison. In addition, it is not always beaten; shallow cuts are often made through the meat. We have already cooked it in a frying pan , today we will bake it using several recipes. For cooking, take the best tenderloin, without fatty layers - carbonate, loin.
Like most famous dishes, this masterpiece of culinary art was created by accident, in France. Before him, French gourmets preferred thin chops. But they weren't juicy. One of the cooks guessed to cut the meat into thick pieces, then wrapped it in vegetables and fried it. The result was amazing! Soon the escalope moved to Russia, where during the time of Peter I there was a fashion for everything French. And it has taken root to this day, although many mistakenly call the escalope a chop.
Pork escalope in the oven with cheese and tomatoes
A typically French approach to cooking. You cook meat with tomatoes and a cheese cap. Please note that I do not give the quantity of ingredients, add generously, at your discretion.
Take:
- Pork tenderloin.
- Tomato.
- Hard cheese.
- Sour cream (can be replaced with mayonnaise).
- Salt pepper.
Step-by-step preparation:
Cut the meat tenderloin into pieces approximately 1.5-2 centimeters thick. Make several shallow cuts across the entire surface.
If you like seasonings, sprinkle them, but it’s better to just use pepper. You can use coriander, sage. There is no need to salt the escalope at this stage, otherwise it will lose its juiciness.
Fry quickly over fairly high heat on both sides so that the meat “seizes” and the juices are “sealed” - this is the secret of a juicy escalope. There is no need to pour oil into the frying pan.
Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Lay out the pork pieces. Salt them lightly.
Cut the tomatoes into circles and distribute over the meat.
Place a spoonful of sour cream on the tomato mugs.
Make a cheese cap on top using coarsely grated cheese.
Place in the oven on the middle level, setting the timer for 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces. The temperature in the oven is 180 o C.
Lately, many people have been paying attention to recipes for roasting pork with fruit. Instead of tomatoes, you can use canned pineapple rings. This will not only be a delicious dish, but also very sophisticated.
Bake escalopes in foil
Pork escalope in the oven in foil turns out to be especially juicy and tender in taste. For it you will need the following products - 1 kg of pork loin, purified vegetable oil, salt and black pepper.
Wash the loin and dry it. Cut out the fat and all the veins. Cut the meat into layers up to 0.5 centimeters thick. Lightly beat the pieces. In order not to destroy the structure of the meat fibers, you can use a regular glass bottle instead of a kitchen hammer.
Heat refined vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the escalopes at the maximum burner level on both sides for two minutes. Then sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper. Wrap each escalope blank in foil. Bake the pork for thirty minutes at one hundred and eighty degrees. Ready!
Pork escalope in the oven with potatoes
Escalopes are always served with a side dish. I suggest cooking it in the oven right away with the potatoes. The main thing is to follow an important rule: the meat should be fried and not cooked on a bed of vegetables.
Required:
- Escalopes (semi-finished product) – 4 pcs.
- Potatoes – 700 gr.
- Sunflower oil – 2-3 tablespoons.
- Oregano, curry, paprika (for potatoes) - to taste.
- Mayonnaise – 2 spoons.
- Salt and pepper for meat.
How to cook:
- Beat the meat a little if it is cut into thick pieces (more than 2 cm). Salt and sprinkle with pepper.
- Peel the potato tubers and cut into thin slices. Be sure to dry the slices with paper towels and place in a bowl. Season with seasonings, add salt, add mayonnaise and sunflower oil. Mix the contents thoroughly.
- Place foil on a baking sheet. Place the escalopes on one half of the baking sheet. Drizzle them with oil.
- Place potatoes on the other part.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven, preheated to 180-190 o C. Turn on, cook for about 20 minutes.
- After the specified time, when the meat is sufficiently fried on the baking sheet, transfer the pieces to a potato bed.
- Simmer in the oven for another 5-7 minutes, turn off. Let the dish “cook” without removing it from the oven for another 5 minutes.
Escalope - what is it, a little history
Imagine a beautiful, even piece of the best pulp, slightly beaten for softness, seasoned with aromatic herbs and fried without any flour, which spoils the taste of the dish - this is a real escalope.
The name comes from the French “escalope” and translates as nut shell. During the cooking process, the meat shrinks a little and becomes somewhat similar to the shell of a walnut, hence the comparison.
Once upon a time it was called Ossie - Beeches. During the time of Peter I, famous chefs of St. Petersburg also borrowed this dish, so it began to be considered Russian-French.
To get a juicy escalope, you need to know how long to fry it until cooked. Thick pieces require about five minutes, while thinner pieces take 3-4 minutes.

Some subtleties of preparing juicy pork escalope
Cooks often encounter some problems when frying pork in a frying pan. As a result, the meat turns out somewhat dry and bland. But such culinary mistakes can be easily avoided if you follow the tips below. To make the escalope the most juicy, it is fundamentally important to choose the right meat. Do not use frozen tenderloin. It will not give much juice and will definitely turn out dry and quite tough, even if you use marinade. Another secret to properly preparing pork escalope is proper cutting. The meat is cut strictly across the grain. This ensures maximum softness of the finished dish. You also need to remember: the classic shape of this meat delicacy is a circle. However, some deviations from the standards are also acceptable. Here everything is done at the discretion of the cook. Since the dish itself is quite simple and unpretentious, it is often supplemented with auxiliary ingredients. This can be cheese, mushrooms, herbs, garlic, tomatoes and other vegetables. Pork tenderloin escalopes are often baked in the oven, but you can achieve the piquant coveted crust only if you fry the meat in a frying pan.
