Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share with you a special recipe that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds – Meat with Garlic Sauce. This dish is not only delicious but also easy to prepare, making it perfect for any occasion. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 700 grams of meat (beef or your preferred cut)
- Coarse salt, to taste
- Olive oil
- 2 onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 100 grams of mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- Additional olive oil for baking
Instructions:
1. Preparing the Meat:
- Seasoning the Meat: Start by generously sprinkling coarse salt on one side of the meat. Make sure to spread it evenly. Flip the meat over and repeat the process on the other side.
- Searing the Meat: Heat some olive oil in a pressure cooker. Once the oil is hot, place the meat into the cooker and sear it on both sides until it’s nicely browned. This will help lock in the juices and add a rich flavor to the dish.
2. Adding the Onions:
- Layering Onions: Remove the seared meat from the pressure cooker. Add the sliced onions to the bottom of the cooker, spreading them out evenly. This will create a flavorful bed for the meat.
- Returning the Meat: Place the meat back on top of the onions. Add a tablespoon of butter over the meat to enhance its richness and flavor.
- Pressure Cooking: Cover the pressure cooker and cook the meat for about 20 minutes. This will tenderize the meat and infuse it with the flavors of the onions and butter.
3. Preparing the Garlic Sauce:
- Garlic and Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs. Mix these ingredients well to create a delicious garlic-cheese topping.
- Oiling the Platter: Drizzle some olive oil into a glass baking platter and spread it evenly to prevent the meat from sticking.
4. Assembling the Dish:
- Transferring the Meat: After the meat has cooked, remove it from the pressure cooker and place it in the prepared glass baking platter.
- Adding the Broth: Pour the flavorful broth from the pressure cooker over the meat. This broth is packed with the essence of the meat, onions, and butter, adding depth to the dish.
- Garlic Topping: Spread the garlic-cheese mixture evenly over the top of the meat. This will form a savory crust as it bakes.
5. Baking the Meat:
- Final Drizzle: Drizzle some more olive oil over the assembled dish. This helps to brown the garlic topping beautifully in the oven.
- Baking: Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C). Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. This will melt the cheese, crisp up the garlic topping, and further develop the flavors.
6. Serving:
- Final Touches: After baking, remove the dish from the oven. Allow it to rest for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Garnishing: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme if desired. This adds a fresh touch and a burst of color.
- Plating: Slice the meat and serve it with the onions and the delicious garlic-cheese topping. Pair it with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Tips and Tricks:
- Choosing the Meat: Select a cut of meat that is suitable for pressure cooking, such as chuck roast or brisket. These cuts become tender and flavorful when cooked under pressure.
- Garlic Variations: If you love garlic, feel free to add more cloves. Roasted garlic can also be used for a milder, sweeter flavor.
- Cheese Options: While mozzarella is a great choice, you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or provolone for a different flavor profile.
- Extra Herbs: Adding fresh or dried herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano can elevate the dish and add complexity to the flavor.
