French-style meat is often prepared by housewives in the post-Soviet space and served on the festive table. The secret of popularity is in the ease of preparation and the ability to improvise. There are many cooking options. Most often, meat in French is cooked in the oven. Portioned pieces of meat are laid out on a baking sheet, layers of onions, potatoes, mushrooms or tomatoes alternate on top. Finish the assembly with slices of cheese.
This dish can also be cooked in a pan – it will turn out very tasty and fast. Try it! Pork tenderloin or neck is best suited for the recipe. You can use turkey, chicken or beef tenderloin if you wish.
For frying meat, I recommend a mixture of vegetable and butter. When choosing a hard cheese, give preference to low-melting fatty varieties with a classic medium-salty taste. We recommend grinding black and allspice with peas in a mortar and sprinkle the meat with this mixture. For cooking, a thick-walled pan with a lid is best suited.
