Fried meat with mushrooms in a frying pan

The first step will be to prepare the ingredients that require it. Wash the meat under running water, and then dry it with a kitchen paper towel. How tender the meat will turn out in the finished dish is largely determined by its slicing. We do it correctly, that is, we necessarily cut across the fibers, not along. We cut the meat into long thin slices about 0.5 cm thick (2 cm wide, 7 cm long, but this does not matter, you can make smaller pieces).

The second factor that affects the taste of meat is pickling. Before frying meat in a frying pan, it is better not to skip marinating, so that the pork turns out to be as tender and tasty as possible. We put the sliced pieces of meat into a deep bowl, pour lemon juice, pour a little salt and ground black pepper. If desired, you can add other spices. Mix everything well with your hands, tighten the bowl with cling film and leave the meat to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

At this time, we do not leave the kitchen and continue cooking. Peel the garlic cloves from the husk. Wash the mushrooms. By the way, you can use any mushrooms! Both forest and the most familiar champignons that are sold in any store. But we must remember that forest mushrooms must be boiled beforehand.

Cut the mushrooms into thin plates. Forest can be cut simply into small pieces. Peeled garlic cloves are crushed in any convenient way, for example, three on a fine grater or just chop finely with a knife. Do not forget to wash the greens and spread them out on a paper napkin to dry from moisture, and then it needs to be chopped to decorate the finished dish. Lemon is well washed with warm water.

Put the frying pan on medium heat, pour vegetable oil into it, heat it up. When it happens. put the meat and chopped garlic in a frying pan, fry everything together for 2-3 minutes. During this time, mix the meat 2 times so that it is fried more evenly. We transfer the pork to a separate plate, and put the chopped mushrooms in the frying pan in the remains of the oil. We also cook them for 2-3 minutes, stirring from time to time. Then we transfer it to a plate.

Put the butter in the same pan and wait for it to melt. Add broth to it (you can take any - meat, vegetable or mushroom). Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice out of the half directly into the pan. Pour red pepper flakes into the pan - literally a pinch. We warm everything over low heat for a couple of minutes, and then return the meat and mushrooms to the pan. From the remaining half of the lemon, cut off 2-3 circles and send them to the frying pan with meat and mushrooms.

Mix everything, heat for 1-2 minutes on low heat, and then lay out the finished dish on serving plates. Do not forget to decorate the meat and mushrooms with chopped herbs.

Bon appetit!
