Meat, mushrooms, cheese - it is difficult to find a more harmonious combination of products. If you add to it a gentle sauce (sour cream or mayonnaise) and onions, then you will get meat in French with mushrooms. The recipe of this dish is an invention of our compatriots, although the French would certainly appreciate it according to their merits.
Cooking Features
Knowing a few secrets will allow you to cook delicious, juicy and aromatic meat in French with mushrooms, which can become the main decoration of the festive table.
- Meat in French with mushrooms can be made from beef, pork, poultry. The main criterion when choosing a product should be its quality. It is desirable that the meat was from a young animal and never subjected to freezing. Large fibers, yellow fat, dark color of the meat itself - the arguments are not in favor of the purchase.
- If you only have frozen meat in the fridge, and you still want to cook the dish, you can use it. However, it must be defrosted properly. Proper defrosting can be considered only if you give the meat the opportunity to thaw in the refrigerator without immersing it in warm water and not using a microwave.
- Mushrooms are also better to use fresh. If there is a need to use frozen ones, they will have to be defrosted. When using pickled mushrooms, they are usually washed and dried.
- Most meat recipes in French with mushrooms imply the use of champignons, as they are one of the most accessible all year round mushrooms. However, if champignons are replaced with fresh forest mushrooms, the dish will only benefit from this, acquiring a unique taste and aroma.
- Meat in French necessarily includes cheese, but not everyone likes a firm crust. If you are one of those who prefers that the meat is covered with soft straightened cheese rather than cheese crust, the cheese can be smeared with mayonnaise or sour cream before baking in the oven.
- If you are making French meat from pork, the baking sheet or the form can not be greased with oil, in other cases they should be oiled.
- Mayonnaise or sour cream when cooking a dish of beef or chicken fillet will require more than French meat from pork.
- If you want to reduce the amount of fatty sauce and thereby reduce the total caloric content of the finished dish, you can bake the meat in foil, revealing it only 10-20 minutes before the readiness.
