The best way to cook meat and vegetables in a frying pan

Pork with vegetables in a frying pan

This dish perfectly combines different flavors of vegetables, spices and meat. Everything is stewed in one pan under a closed lid. Vegetables release a lot of juice, which makes the pork very soft and tender.

The set of vegetables can be supplemented at your discretion: zucchini, zucchini, broccoli, champignons. In winter, when there is no fresh food, you can use frozen mixtures.

Required Products:

• 700 g pork;
• 1 bell pepper;
• 1 carrot;
• 1 large onion;
• 4 tomatoes;
• 4 cloves of garlic;
• A bunch of parsley;
• Salt.

For the marinade:

• ¼ tsp. dried hot red pepper;
• ½ tsp. ground black pepper;
• 1 tsp. paprika;
• Salt.

Preparation:

1. We cut the meat into pieces of arbitrary shape, 2/2 cm in size. Add spices and salt to taste, mix and leave to marinate.

2. Cut the onion in half and then into half rings. Cut the peppers and carrots into strips. Carrots can be grated on a Korean carrot grater, and then chopped a little with a knife.

3. Finely chop the parsley and cut the garlic into thin slices. We make a cross-shaped cut in the tomato, scald it with boiling water and remove the peel. Cut the pulp into 4 parts.

4. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it up and add the pork. Fry until golden brown. Add the onion and cook until transparent. Then throw in the carrots and peppers. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Distribute tomato slices on top, cover with a lid and simmer for another 8-10 minutes. Add the greens and garlic, add some salt if necessary and simmer for another 2-3 minutes under the lid.

6. For a family dinner, the dish doesn’t even need to be put on a plate. Serve directly in the pan so that everyone can help themselves as much as they want.

Pork baked in the oven with vegetables in foil

Today we will cook meat according to a recipe that is simply impossible to remain silent about. It's amazingly tasty and beautiful! At the same time, preparing it is not at all difficult. But you can serve it both on holidays and on weekdays.

Your family will definitely be surprised by this serving. The prepared dish even has its own name, and is called accordion pork. We have already prepared something similar in one of the collections. But there we cooked it on a “bed” of potatoes, and by the way, it was also very tasty!

We will need:

• Pork tenderloin half a kilo
• Two bell peppers
• Two tomatoes
• Two hundred grams of cheese
• Garlic, salt, spices to taste
• Olive oil

Preparation:

1. Take the tenderloin and make vertical cuts along the entire surface, at a distance of one and a half centimeters from each other. The cuts should be deep, not reaching a centimeter or one and a half to the base of the piece.

That is, we should get a kind of “accordion” with a common base and strips of meat of the same width.

2. Place the meat on foil, previously unrolled in a baking dish. It must be salted in advance, seasoned with spices, garlic, passed through a press. And mash thoroughly so that it is saturated with all the seasonings and flavorings.

It is very good to use aromatic, spicy herbs such as oregano, thyme, rosemary here. You can take a mixture of Provencal herbs, they will give just the right aroma.

3. Cut the tomatoes into slices and the peppers into slices. Don’t “thin” it; the more juice the vegetables give, the tastier and juicier the meat will be.

4. Cut the cheese into thin slices. If you absolutely love cheese, then it’s not a sin to cut it thicker.

5. Now the most crucial moment, we will fill our “accordion” with vegetables.

In each cut we place pepper, cheese, a slice of tomato in the same sequence, trying to ensure that all this is arranged evenly and beautifully. Sprinkle olive oil on top. Everything already looks very appetizing!

Cover with a top layer of foil so that there are no gaps. It is important for us that the contents are baked not only from the heat of the oven, but also stewed from their own steam.

6. Place our beauty in an oven preheated to two hundred degrees.

7. After 60 minutes, we take out our masterpiece - what a divine aroma! We give the opportunity to stand and simmer for another 15 - 20 minutes, so the pulp will be even better saturated with all the juices and smells.

Now you can carefully unfold the foil and place the finished dish in a large, flat dish without cutting it yet. Let everyone admire what we have achieved.

Then you can cut the meat along the existing cut and serve it to everyone on a plate. Enjoy eating!

Video: pork stewed with vegetables - soft, tender, aromatic

Pork stewed with vegetables is an easy-to-prepare dish that is hearty and tasty. It is quite suitable for every day, and even if guests arrive unexpectedly, there will be something to feed them.

According to the compatibility chart, meat goes perfectly with vegetables. True, this does not apply to starchy foods. Therefore, in order to make it in a frying pan, you need to think in advance not only about the cooking technology, but also about the recipe composition of a particular dish. As an example, you can consider several interesting options.

How much time to cook

Essentially, stewing meat is carried out in two stages: frying it and boiling it. It is during frying that the fibers are “sealed” and it retains its juiciness. And at the second stage, the fried product is filled with a sufficient amount of liquid and undergoes further heat treatment.

Cooking time largely depends on the thickness of the pieces and the age of the animal (the older, the longer). Also, how long to stew the meat is influenced by its preliminary preparation. If the pork is cut into small pieces (1 cm thick), it must first be fried. Frying time over medium heat is 5 minutes. After adding spices and water or sauce, simmer the pork for another 20-30 minutes over low heat. And then salt the dish, mix and simmer for another 5 minutes.

But larger pieces take a little longer to cook. Veal and pork are stewed for approximately 45-50 minutes, and beef - an hour and a half. When cooking this way, the pan should be covered with a lid and the heat should be set to low.

In general, I advise you to try a piece just before finishing cooking. If it's soft and chewy, it's time to turn it off.
