Cooking meat in French is no worse than in a restaurant, the advice of experienced chefs will help the hostess:
- The quality of the original products is of paramount importance. Fresh meat cooks better than frozen and thawed meat. Veal will be more tender than old beef. All this must be taken into account when buying. Tomatoes and cheese should also be of high quality, not spoiled.
- If you want the meat to cook faster, you can pre-marinate it. However, it is better to marinate without salt, because because of it, the meat will lose a lot of liquid, it will be dry.
- If you do not want the dish to be covered with a too hard cheese crust, you can grease the cheese with mayonnaise on top before sending the meat to the oven. Another option is to sprinkle with cheese shortly before the dish is ready, but with the expectation that it should have time to melt and lightly brown.
- Before beating the meat, it is better to place it in a bag. This will prevent splashing of juice when beating.
- If the meat is baked in foil, the sauce can be put less than indicated in the recipe, or even completely abandoned.
- Tomatoes must be cut with a special knife for vegetables and citrus fruits. As a rule, it has a special, slightly curved shape, small frequent teeth, that is, it is somewhat reminiscent of a saw. In this case, all the juice will be preserved inside the tomato slices, so the dish will turn out juicy and beautiful. Cutting tomatoes into beautiful circles with a blunt knife will not work.

Meat dishes are always hearty and tasty, incredibly fragrant and mouth-watering. Meat chops are a great choice when you need to prepare a festive dish without spending a lot of time. Meat in French - instantly arises in thoughts when you need to meet guests. Unpretentious in preparation, the dish always looks advantageous on the table. If, during baking, you add tomatoes to the meat and sprinkle with grated cheese, then you don’t have to worry about the fact that it will be hard and overdried.
There are many ways to cook meat in French. We will cook a French version of meat with tomatoes and cheese.
How to cook delicious meat in French
Products:
The number of products is based on two. Keeping proportions, determine for yourself how much you need.
Cooking process:
We take a piece of pork. Rinse it under running warm water. Cut into pieces about 1 cm thick across the grain. It is better if the meat is chilled rather than frozen. So the dish will be juicier and more tender. Try to use quality products so that the taste and mood are not spoiled.
Each piece needs to be lightly hammered on both sides. Slightly damaging the structure of the meat, we will make it softer. In order not to splatter the kitchen, it is better to beat the meat by placing it in a plastic bag or covering it with cling film.
Lubricate each piece with plenty of sauce from a mixture of mayonnaise, salt and seasonings. You can take any seasoning - your favorite or special for meat.
We leave the pieces to marinate for a while, but for now we will prepare the rest of the ingredients of the dish.
We cut the tomatoes into circles. Onions - rings or half rings. Grind the cheese on a grater. Better on small.
Lay the onions, tomatoes in layers on the meat and sprinkle with cheese.
There is no need to grease the pan with oil. We have already seasoned the meat with mayonnaise. It will not let it burn or stick to the surface.
If you want to make the dish even juicier and more tender, or you don’t like a hard cheese crust, then you can add mayonnaise to the “fur coat” of vegetables and cheese. In this form, we send everything to a preheated (up to 190˚С) oven for 50 minutes.
It is better to cut the tomato with the sharpest possible knife - so the pulp will not crumble, which means that the vegetable will remain juicy. By the way, it is advisable to remove the skin from it before sending it to the oven. For this:
- cut the peel crosswise from the stalk to the top;
- drop into boiling water for 1 minute;
- put in ice water.
After this procedure, the tomatoes are peeled in one moment.
When potatoes are baked with meat, it is better to pre-cook them until half cooked - then you definitely will not overdry the main ingredient.
Pork in French
For this delicious dish you will need:
- 700 grams of lean pork loin;
- onions - 2 pcs.;
- tomatoes - 400 g;
- Adyghe cheese - 200 g (if you don’t like it, then take Russian or Dutch);
- mayonnaise - 5 tablespoons with a slide;
- black pepper, marjoram and salt - at your discretion.
Wash the meat first and let it dry. Next, cut into slices about 1 cm thick. Beat each piece lightly.
Now the oven turns on at +200 ° C. Grease a suitable size baking sheet with vegetable oil and place the pork on it. Salt it and season it. On top, place the onion sliced in a half ring (in no case with feathers - there is little juice from them).
Wash the tomatoes and remove the skins. Chop each tomato into thin (3-5 mm) circles. Spread the vegetables over the previous layer and generously grease with mayonnaise.
It remains to sprinkle the meat with coarsely grated Adyghe or any other cheese and send it to the oven. Baking takes about 40 minutes - the smell of ready meat will be a signal of readiness.
This French dish is served on the festive table without a side dish, and on weekdays, boiled potatoes with butter or rice are ideal as such.

Free the potatoes from the peel, rinse, cut into cubes (10 by 10 mm) and also distribute over the meat. Root crops should be separately salted and seasoned with spices. Lay the rest of the onion on top.
It is better to chop or chop the tomatoes with a blender - spread the resulting mass with a spoon over the previous layer and cover with mayonnaise. Grate a piece of cheese coarsely, sprinkle the dish with the resulting crumb. Spread butter in the form of thin slices on top - it will add a creamy note.
