Necessary Ingredients: *For the beef escalope:* - 700 - 800 grams beef tenderloin - 2 - 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary - 2 garlic cloves - 2 tablespoons olive oil - Salt and pepper, to taste - 1 - 1½ cups water (depending on the size of the baking dish) *For the sauce:* - 6 medium mushrooms - 1 onion - ½ bell pepper (red or green, as preferred) - ½ cup white wine - 200 ml cream (homemade or for cooking) - 50 ml milk - Salt and pepper, to taste - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish Preparing the Beef Escalope: 1. Preparing the meat: Start by slicing the beef tenderloin into thick slices of about 7-8 mm. These slices should be uniform to cook evenly. Use a meat mallet to tenderize the slices, making them juicier and more tender. This is an essential step that will transform a good piece of meat into a delicacy. 2. Seasoning and frying: Dredge the meat slices in flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. In a heated skillet, add the two tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the meat slices and brown them for 2 minutes on each side. This process will help create a delicious crust. After browning, season with salt and pepper. 3. Baking in the oven: Transfer the meat slices to a baking dish, add the sprigs of fresh rosemary and crushed garlic cloves (with skin). Pour a little olive oil and water into the dish. Cover with aluminum foil or leave uncovered, as preferred. Bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce reduces, but be careful not to burn it. Preparing the Cream and Mushroom Sauce: 1. Preparing the vegetables: Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop it into small cubes. Do the same with the bell pepper, cutting it into small pieces. Wash the mushrooms and slice them thinly. 2. Sautéing the vegetables: Once the meat is ready, set it aside but keep the sauce and rosemary in the dish. Place the dish on the stove, remove the garlic, and add a bit of olive oil if necessary. Sauté the onion over medium heat until golden, then add the bell pepper. After 5 minutes, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms become soft. 3. Preparing the sauce: Add the white wine and let it simmer for 5 minutes to evaporate the alcohol and intensify the flavors. Then, pour in the milk and cream, stirring constantly. Let the sauce simmer over medium heat until it thickens. Check the taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. 4. Finalizing the dish: Add the meat slices back into the skillet, covering them with the warm sauce to heat through. 5. Serving: Serve the beef escalope on plates, sprinkling with fresh chopped parsley for an extra touch of freshness. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or rice, but you can also opt for steamed vegetables for a lighter option. Practical Tips for a Perfect Result: - Ensure the meat is at room temperature before cooking to avoid contracting. - Use a quality white wine, as it will significantly influence the sauce's flavor. - You can experiment with different types of mushrooms (e.g., shiitake or champignon) to add a distinctive taste. - If you want a lighter sauce, you can replace the cream with Greek yogurt. Nutritional Information: This recipe contains approximately 400 calories per serving, being a good source of protein and essential nutrients from meat and vegetables. The cream adds healthy fats, while mushrooms and vegetables contribute fiber and vitamins. Frequently Asked Questions: 1. Can I use other types of meat? Of course! This recipe can also be adapted with pork or chicken. 2. How can I make the sauce spicier? Add a little chili pepper or spicy seasonings, to taste. 3. What other side dishes can I use? You can opt for fried potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad. This beef escalope recipe with cream and mushroom sauce is not only tasty but also full of personality. I invite you to try it and bring a touch of refinement to your meals. Enjoy your meal!
