Roast pork with onions as in the dining room

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make roast pork like in the dining room? Prepare the products. Not all parts of the carcass are suitable for frying. To make the meat tender and juicy, take the neck, shoulder blade, ham or tenderloin. The dish will turn out to be tastier from fresh meat, but if you have frozen, pre-defrost it, leaving it in the refrigerator for 8 hours, then 1-2 hours in the room.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash and dry the meat with paper towels so that when frying there are fewer splashes and a more uniform ruddy crust appears on the surface. Cut off excess fat.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the meat into pieces about 2x4 cm in size. Try to cut the pieces across the fibers — when frying, they will shrink, but short ones will be softer than long ones.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the onion, rinse and cut into half rings. In this form, it will retain its shape and so it will be convenient to eat.

5. Step 5:

   

   Transfer the meat and onion to a common deep container. Add spices and about 3 tablespoons of oil. Don't salt yet. It is better not to salt the meat before frying to preserve more juice. Take spices to taste, ready-made sets or separately.

6. Step 6:

   

   Mix everything thoroughly so that each piece is evenly marinated. Leave for 30 minutes at room temperature.

8. Step 7:

   

   For frying, heat a frying pan with vegetable oil. Note that if the meat is too fatty, then much less oil will be required than indicated in the recipe. Sometimes, if the meat is fatty, you can do without butter at all. Turn on medium or above-average heat. Since the meat is fried longer than the onion, put only pieces of pork in one layer on the pan at first. If everything does not fit at once, fry in several rounds. There is no need to close the lid.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the pork in the pan piece by piece at a distance from each other. Fry on both sides until golden brown. It took me about 4 minutes on each side. Season the already toasted side with salt.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put the finished pieces in a deep dish and cover with a lid and let "rest" so that the meat comes to readiness.

11. Step 10:

    

    Fry the onion in the remaining oil from the meat in the pan. Fry until it becomes transparent and golden.

12. Step 11:

    

    Before serving, mix the meat with onions and warm it up slightly in the same pan. Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, rice or buckwheat. Bon appetit!
