How long to fry a minced steak in a frying pan. Chopped pork steak

It is clear that the use of pork is not traditional in the recipe for this dish. Nevertheless, pork steaks are very popular all over the world. Few gourmets (especially men) will refuse deliciously cooked pork meat, be it a minced steak or a whole piece, fried in a frying pan or in the oven.

Today we will cook pork steak in a frying pan. To make it incredibly tasty, juicy and tender, you will need meat with a thin layer of fat, the so-called “marble”, or loin. Ask the butcher to cut the steaks 2-3 cm thick or cut the meat yourself, the main thing is across the grain. Then lightly pound the pork, rub with pepper and oil and quickly fry on both sides until crispy. As soon as the pieces are browned, reduce the heat and continue heat treatment for some more time until the entire thickness of the meat product is completely fried. The result is an excellent steak, well done, with a golden crust and juicy inside.

Total cooking time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 12 minutes
Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • boneless pork with a thin layer of fat - 500 g
  • sunflower oil - 2 tsp.
  • salt and black pepper - to taste
  • garlic - 2 teeth.
  • butter - 30 g

Preparation

    I washed and dried the pork. Cut into portions - always across the grain, the steaks should be about 2 cm thick, round or oval. Please note that the meat should be at room temperature, so at least half an hour before cooking, do not forget to remove it from the refrigerator so that it warms up throughout. If the piece is cold inside, it will cook unevenly.

    To make the pork steak juicy and tender, the pork should be lightly pounded. I covered the meat with cling film and processed it with a ribbed hammer on both sides. Don't "thresh" too hard! The goal here is only to soften the top meat fibers, and not to turn it into a thin chop.

    Sprinkle the pork with ground pepper and brush it with a brush dipped in vegetable oil. There is no need to add salt at this stage, as it will “draw out” the meat juices during frying and the steak will turn out dry. Left to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

    Heated a thick-walled frying pan until red hot. Ideally, use a grill, but a thick-bottomed cast-iron pan will also work (in a thin non-stick frying pan, the meat will burn and cook unevenly, so it’s best to avoid it). I placed the pieces of meat on a dry, very hot grill pan. Fry for 2 minutes on each side. The fire must be very strong so that the upper fibers, which we “pushed apart” with a hammer, shrink and seal all the juices inside. A very dense crust should form on the surface. And don’t “twist” the meat back and forth, don’t look under the bottom every second, don’t press it or pierce it with a fork. Let it cook for exactly 2 minutes on each side, otherwise you risk getting a tough sole rather than a juicy steak.

    If there is a thick layer of fat on the side, then it also needs to be rendered. To do this, after frying the meat on both sides, I turned it on its side and kept it on high heat for another half a minute so that the fat would melt out. If there is no fat on the side, then skip this step.

    Reduced the heat to minimum. I added a piece of butter and a couple of cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed with the flat side of a knife, to the pan. Cook the steak over low heat for 7-8 minutes, that is, about 4 minutes on each side. There is no need to cover with a lid. Readiness is checked as follows: pierce a piece of meat with a knife or fork, if the juice released is clear, then the steak is ready.

    Remove the hot pork steak from the pan immediately and place on a warm plate to serve. Only now add salt to taste (coarse, not “extra”) and serve immediately. The dish can be complemented with spicy tomato sauce, fried potatoes and fresh vegetables.

Pork steak in a frying pan is fried evenly. If you do not overdry it, you will get an excellent piece of well-fried meat, juicy inside, with a beautiful crust. Bon appetit!

On a note

If you have very thick pieces of steak (more than 2 cm), then after frying you can not cook them in a frying pan, but transfer them to the oven and hold for 10 minutes at 180 degrees, covering the pan with foil. Then you are guaranteed not to dry out the steak and you will be sure of its readiness.

Description

Beef steak We will cook not from a whole piece of meat, but from minced meat. Such minced meat will turn out best and tastiest if you prepare it at home from the freshest, unfrozen piece of beef. To ensure that the taste of the meat retains its naturalness and natural qualities, we will not add a large amount of spices to the minced meat. If you wish, you can add to the list of seasonings or replace some of them yourself.

In the classic recipe for preparing European minced steak, the binding element is not a chicken egg, but ordinary water. Our step-by-step recipe for preparing this dish with photos will be no exception. The water is not as viscous as an egg, so it will take a little more effort to shape the steaks, but this will give you the taste of a real European-style ground steak.

As a side dish for this dish, onions are perfect; we cut them into rings and fry them in flour so that they turn out crispy.

Let's get started preparing this amazing hearty meat dish for lunch.

Cooking steps

    Minced meat is best prepared at home from a fresh piece of juicy and tender beef. We wash a piece of meat in cold water, dry it and pass it through a meat grinder. There is no need to mix onions or any other additives into this minced meat.


    Add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste to the finished twisted meat. As additional spices for beef, you can use a variety of dry aromatic herbs, sweet paprika or hot red pepper. Basil, thyme and mint go well with this type of meat. Mix the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl.

    Pour the indicated amount of water at room temperature into a bowl with meat and spices. We carefully beat the resulting mixture so that the minced meat has a very dense structure. Eggs are not added to minced beefsteak mince.

    Divide the resulting minced meat into 4 equal parts. From each received part we form a neat volumetric ball in our palms, after which we slightly flatten it and get the correct shape of the cutlet.

    Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan with a thick bottom. Place the shaped chopped beef steaks on the bottom of the frying pan and fry on both sides over medium heat without a lid until golden brown. The degree of roasting of meat depends on the cooking time. Place the steaks on a paper towel and allow excess oil to drain.

    Peel the onion and cut it into neat, not too thin, whole rings. Sprinkle the onion slices with a small amount of flour, stir so that all the flour sticks to the surface of the rings. Fry the onion in flour in the same pan in which the steaks were fried.

    Place the finished dish on a plate, add onion rings fried until golden brown and fresh herbs on the side. Chopped beef steak is ready.

    Bon appetit!

Step 1: select and prepare meat.

In fact, a steak is nothing more than a small slice of veal roasted over a fire, but very often it is made from minced or ground meat, and, as mentioned earlier, this ingredient must be chosen correctly! The ideal option for this dish is a tender and juicy tenderloin, pre-slightly cooled in a special chamber, at a temperature no higher or lower than +4 degrees Celsius, but if there are no particular options, you can take fresh.

We thoroughly rinse the desired piece of veal under streams of cold running water, dry it with paper kitchen towels, place it on a cutting board and, using a sharp kitchen knife, remove veins, film, and small bones, which are often found on logs. Then we cut the meat into small portions of 3 to 4 centimeters in size and move on.

Step 2: prepare the minced meat.


We install a manual or electric meat grinder with a medium mesh on the countertop and pass the prepared veal through it into a deep bowl. Add salt, cumin, coriander to taste to the resulting minced meat, as well as two types of ground pepper: black and red hot. To make the steak juicy, add a little purified cold water to the ground meat, four tablespoons is enough, and thoroughly knead everything until smooth.

Beat the resulting mass; this is done very simply. We roll the minced meat into a bun and with medium force we throw it, that is, we can say, throw it, to the bottom of the bowl. We repeat this process 5–6 times, then cover the container with the aromatic mass with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes, although it can be half an hour.

Step 3: form the beefsteak from minced meat.


After the required time, we take the minced meat out of the refrigerator; if everything is done correctly, it will be elastic and juicy. We separate about two, or preferably three, tablespoons from it, form a ball the size of a tennis ball from the meat, place it on a cutting board, lightly press it with the flat side of a knife so that the thickness is reduced to about 1.5 centimeters and, using the same equipment, add steak has a more rounded shape. Then we decide in what way and to what degree of readiness the dish will be prepared. There are at least three options for cooking steak, in the oven, on the stove and on the grill, we'll break it all down.

Step 4: The first way to cook minced steak is in a frying pan.


So, put a frying pan on medium heat, pour a little vegetable oil into it and heat until 180–190 degrees Celsius. Then carefully lower one steak into it and select the degree of doneness. If we want to get meat with red meat juice (rare), then fry a round piece of ground meat 2–3 minutes each from each side. We wish medium rare, then 4–5 minutes on both sides.

Like almost cooked veal (medium well)? In this case, cook the steak over moderate heat. 8–9 minutes. Well, if you prefer fully cooked meat, practically no juice (well done), then we cook it about 10 minutes until brown or 5-6 minutes in a frying pan and 10 minutes in an oven heated to 190 degrees Celsius.

Step 5: the second option for cooking minced steak is in the oven.


Now let's look at the second method, first turn on and preheat the oven up to 180 degrees Celsius. Then we take a large non-stick pan or baking sheet and grease its surface with a thin layer of vegetable oil. If you are worried that the dish will burn, then it is better to cover this dish with parchment or foil, and only then treat it with any fat. Place the formed beefsteaks on the bottom of the selected equipment, make a small dent in the middle of each with your thumb and bake them for 10–20 minutes.

As you can see, the time is also adjusted depending on the desired doneness of the meat, cook less, get veal with red or pink juice, cook longer, get a fully cooked steak.

Step 6: the third option for preparing minced steak is on the grill or grill.


So we come to the third method, prepare a barbecue or grill, place raw steaks on a special grill, pre-lubricated with a thin layer of vegetable oil, and fry them to the desired degree of readiness from 7 to 15 minutes. Regardless of the choice of method, after the meat cakes have reached the consistency you need, using a kitchen spatula, distribute them in portions onto plates and serve them to the table.

Step 7: Serve the minced steak.


Minced beefsteak is served hot as a complete second course.

It is served in portions on plates with some kind of side dish; mashed potatoes, potatoes, vegetable salad, marinades, pickles and much more are suitable.

As a complement to such a delicious dish, they put a lot of hot, sour, sweet or salty-spicy sauces on the table; a good option is mushroom, creamy, tomato. Cook in a good mood and enjoy home-cooked food!
Bon appetit!

In America, as a bonus, they still add finely chopped onions or garlic to the minced meat; these vegetables add a little juiciness to the finished dish, but make it more similar to ordinary cutlets;

Sometimes, instead of veal, beef or a mixture of this meat and pork is used;

Do you have a special meat thermometer? Then they can check the readiness of the steak; if its internal temperature is at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit or 71 degrees Celsius, you can safely eat it;

The set of spices is not important; use any that are used to season minced meat.
