The word "entrecote" is of French origin (entre - between, côte - rib). Initially, entrecote was called a piece of ox meat, cut between the ribs and the ridge. Now, in the general sense, entrecote is a chop made from beef pulp 1-1.5 cm thick and the size of a palm.
It is necessary
-
- 800 g of beef pulp;
- 5 potatoes;
- salt;
- pepper;
- spice;
- vegetable oil.
Instructions
Step 1
Cut the beef pulp against the fibers into 1-1.5 cm portions, lightly beat them with a culinary hammer on both sides. Season with salt, pepper and spices.
Step 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Saute the meat on both sides over high heat until brown.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low and cook meat for 15-20 minutes. Readiness is determined quite simply: on the thin side edge of the piece, there should be a longitudinal line connecting the roastings on both sides.
Step 4
For a side dish, peel the potatoes, cut them into large pieces and boil them in salted water. Mashed potatoes and broth. Mashed potatoes can be seasoned with egg, butter or boiled milk, or you can do just a decoction.
Step 5
Serve the meat with mashed potatoes, drizzle with the juice formed during the frying. You can also garnish the entrecote with chopped herbs and drizzle with lemon.
Step 6
Another way to make entrecote is to make it on the bone, which will be closer to the historical, "original" entrecote. To do this, cut the thin edge of the meat over the bones, beat off and clean a little, salt and pepper, roll in flour and fry on both sides until tender.
Step 7
In addition, you can also cook entrecote in the oven, or French-style meat. Place cuts of meat on a baking sheet. Cover it alternately with onions, potatoes, mushrooms or zucchini on top. Coat all layers with mayonnaise. Sprinkle with grated cheese on top. Place in the oven for about 40 minutes.
Step 8
As a side dish for entrecote, in addition to mashed potatoes, you can also serve young boiled potatoes, french fries, rice, crumbly cereals (for example, buckwheat), a variety of green salads, peas, mushrooms, and so on.
