Pork in beer - tricks and tips
• In order for the pork in beer to be especially juicy, it’s better to pre-fry the pieces of meat in hot oil on all sides for literally 2-3 minutes.
• The percentage of alcohol in beer does not matter, this factor does not affect the taste of the finished dish. In addition, in the process of baking all the alcohol disappears, leaving only a light aroma and taste.
• To make the meat cook faster, beat each slice slightly. Or on a large piece make deep cuts and rub it well with spices.
• As soon as you pour the beer into the pork, immediately reduce the heat to a minimum so that the liquid does not boil and the pork languishes.
• Fresh greens are better to put in the ready dish, and not at the time of baking.
