Beef can be used to prepare both complex festive and quite everyday dishes. To make the meat juicy and tender, and it takes as little time as possible to cook it, stew it in a saucepan with various additives or make juicy cutlets. All that remains is to prepare a suitable side dish - and the main course for lunch or dinner is ready.
It is necessary
-
- Beef in beer:
- 900 g of beef;
- 600 ml dark beer;
- juice and zest of one orange;
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
- 30 g butter;
- 2 tablespoons flour;
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg;
- 2 cloves of garlic;
- 2 large onions;
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ground black pepper;
- Bay leaf.
- Homemade burgers:
- 900 g lean beef;
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
- salt
- pepper.
Instructions
Step 1
Beef in beer has a very unusual and delicate taste. Cut the loin into small cubes and roll in a mixture of salt, pepper, flour and ground nutmeg. Combine half the butter and oil in a saucepan and fry half the meat cubes until brown. Place them on a plate, pour the remaining butter into a saucepan and sauté the second portion of the beef.
Step 2
Saute the onion and finely chopped garlic in the remaining oil for about 5 minutes. Add brown sugar and heat mixture for another minute until sugar turns to caramel.
Step 3
Put the meat in a saucepan, cover it with beer, add orange juice, bay leaf and half of the zest. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer the beef until tender. When the meat is tender, salt it, add ground pepper and nutmeg, sprinkle with the remaining zest. Serve the beef in beer with baked or boiled potatoes and green salad.
Step 4
Very quickly, you can prepare a signature fast food dish - a hamburger. A homemade beef cutlet sandwich is much tastier and healthier than its restaurant counterpart. Pass the trimmed meat through a meat grinder twice - pieces of loin, rump, or the bottom of the shoulder blade. Blind four thick, round patties.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Place the burgers and grill them for three minutes on each side. Do not press on the cutlets, otherwise delicious juice will flow out of them and the meat will be dry. When flipping burgers, sprinkle with salt and pepper. If you like well-done meat, leave it in the skillet for a few more minutes.
Step 6
Cut the sesame seed round bun in half. Place a leaf of green lettuce and a cutlet inside. Serve burgers with ketchup, sweet mustard, vegetables, and fries.
