Steaks with Criolla Sauce

                                                                               Receta en Español

Steaks with criolla Sauce

Criolla's sauce is very popular in Argentina. The recipe I present today  shows a way to eat meat different from argentinian barbecue. It is based on the recipe that I found at this page, full of argentinian recipes:
http://recetasdeargentina.com.ar/bifes-a-la-criolla-2/

Ingredients
  • ½ kilo rump steaks.
  • ½ Kilo potatoes.
  • 2 onions.
  • 3 Tomatoes.
  • 2 green peppers or green chili.
  • Oil.
  • 2 cups of water.
  • Salt and Pepper.

Method
    1. Peel ant cut potatoes into slices 1/2 cm thick.
    2. Cut onions into slices with a similar thickness as potatoes.
    3. Cut tomatoes into slices and peppers into strips.
    4. Take a big pot , pour some olive oil in it.
    5. Put the ingredients inside the pot following this order: steaks on the bottom, then onions, patatoes, tomatoes, peppers. If you have more steaks put a new layer of steaks and then the rest of the ingredients following the same order. Add salt at every layer.

 

    1. Pour 2 cups of water.
    2. Put on a medium heat for 10 minutes.
    3. Put on a low heat, cover the pot. Cook for 30 or 40 minutes until potatoes and meat are well done.


     You can serve it together with fried eggs.

    My comments to the Recipe:
    It is a recipe very easy to make, the meat is tender and juicy. Besides, it is a complete dish with meat and vegetables.

    Baked Provoleta

                                                                                   Receta en Español

    Provoleta is an Argentinian cheese's trademark. It is similar to  Italian provolone, it is cooked on the grill and sometimes baked in oven to accompany roast meat.  

    Today's recipe is baked Provoleta, I will use microwave. This is an easy and fast way of preparing it!.

    Provoleta


    Ingredients (2 people) :

    • 1 teaspoon papikra.
    • 1 teaspoon oregano.
    • a sprinkle of pepper.
    • 2 dessertspoonful olive oil.
    • 150-200 grams provolone cheese.

    Method:
    1. Take a microwave proof dish, put olive oil , paprika, pepper and oregano. Mix well.
    2. Put provolone into the dish, let mix with the rest of ingredients both sides.
    3. Let stand a while in the fridge, this way it will absorbe better all the flavours of the ingredients.
    4. Put the dish to minutes in the microwave...and here it is!.
    5. It is accompanied by chunks of bread.


    My comments to the Recipe:
    Once the cheese loses heat it becomes a little taffy. You can also cook provoleta in oven, the result is better.
    Preheat oven for 5 minutes at 200ºC, the cook provoleta for 15-20 minutes.
