French-style meat baked in the oven on a baking sheet in layers
French-style meat has long been a part of our diet. It is extremely tasty, and many will agree with me on this. And preparing it is not at all difficult. This option is known to housewives as a “quick dinner.”
Ingredients:
- Pork – 600g;
- Potatoes – 500g;
- Cheese – 450g;
- 2 onions;
- Mayonnaise - to taste;
- Salt and black pepper to taste;
Preparation:
1. Cut the potatoes into circles and arrange them evenly, preferably in one layer on a greased baking sheet. The thinner you cut it, the sooner it will cook. Add salt and pepper on top. If desired, you can lightly sprinkle with your favorite spices.
A mixture of Provencal herbs, dried basil, thyme or rosemary can give a good taste and aroma.
2. Cut the meat into pieces in the form of steaks, the thickness of which should be no more than 1 centimeter. Beat and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let it sit for a bit so that the spices penetrate inside.
It is better to beat steaks by covering them with cling film. In this case, the splashes will not fly away in different directions.
3. Cut the onion into thin half rings and cover the layer of meat with them. Make a mesh of mayonnaise on top. Adjust the layer thickness yourself, it depends on your preferences.
If you don’t have a package of mayonnaise with a special thin “spout,” then use a regular plastic bag. To do this, simply pour the sauce into a bag and cut off the tip from one of the corners. The thinner you cut, the thinner the mesh you will get.
If you don’t eat mayonnaise, you can prepare Bechamel sauce. It has less calories and the dish with its presence turns out very tender and tasty. How to prepare such a sauce is written in the article about various methods of preparing meat in French.
4. Grate cheese, preferably hard varieties (Parmesan is best), on a medium grater and sprinkle on top of all layers.
5. By this time we should already have the oven warmed up. You will need a temperature of 180 degrees. Bake until potatoes and meat are done. As a rule, this takes 45-50 minutes.
There are also several variations for preparing this dish.
- The meat can be cut into smaller pieces. This cutting method will reduce cooking time.
- On top of the onion and mayonnaise, you can add another layer - tomato. In this case, cut the tomatoes in the same way as potatoes, that is, into slices. In this case, the dish will become even more juicy. And it will acquire an additional shade of taste.
- In addition to cheese, you can also additionally use chopped fresh herbs in the top layer. In this case, the dish will not only be more flavorful, but will also become more attractive in appearance.
6. Readiness is also determined by the fact that the dish should brown beautifully. If the oven is very hot and the crust appears too quickly, while the main ingredients remain raw, then you can cover the baking sheet with foil.
7. Place the finished dish on a plate in layers so as not to disturb all the created beauty.
And so our delicious dinner is ready! Eat for your health!
