Fried meat with onions in a pan - general principles of preparation
For frying, mainly pork or veal is used. But for some recipes, beef is also suitable, there are a lot of interesting dishes from lamb, rabbit. If the type of meat is not indicated, then we take the product at our discretion.
In fact, 90% of success in cooking meat depends on its type. It is advisable not to use scraps from the legs or sternum of the animal, since they have a lot of muscles and it is difficult to make such pieces tender. Best for fried foods is tenderloin, entrecote or thin edge.
The age of the animal also plays a large role. The younger it is, the more tender and tasty the dish will turn out. The meat of an old animal is easy to determine by its appearance: it is darker, fat with yellowness, veins are denser.
But what if there is no suitable meat? Any piece can be pre-marinated, which will improve its taste. And to do this is very simple. It is enough to mix the prepared pieces with the marinade and leave for several hours.
What can be used for soaking:
• spices;
• vegetable and fruit juices;
• various sauces;
• fresh vegetables.
Making the meat more tender also helps to pre-chop the pieces. But it’s important not to overdo it so that the product does not lose all its juices.
Onions are usually used onion and fried along with meat. Sometimes a vegetable is pickled in vinegar to give it a more piquant taste and relieve bitterness.

Fried meat with onions in a pan - useful tips and tricks
• Meat does not need to be turned over often during frying. The first time this is done only after the formation of a light crust. Otherwise, the contact of the sides with hot oil will only cause the appearance of juice and will not seal it inside the pieces.
• If you need to beat off pieces of meat, then it is better to do it right! It is not worth struggling to beat slices and deprive them of juiciness. It is better to put the pieces on the board, cover with cellophane and lightly go with a hammer. The same thing is repeated on the other hand.
• If you need to quickly fry the meat to a crust, you can roll the slices in flour before laying in a pan.
• The addition of granulated sugar will give a beautiful color to fried meat. Pour it at the very end and in small quantities, otherwise the dish will simply burn. For the same purpose, honey is used, which gives an appetizing crust.
