Gypsy
Steak
 The Gypsy steak is
also one of my favorites.
It has a very
delicious taste, but unfortunately it is quite heavy food as most of
the
Hungarian foods are.
But I have very
good news: cooking this steak is very
easy.
You don’t need to
by too many ingredients, and it can be ready in 1 hour.
So, I highly
recommend trying it out.
Let’s
start!
What do
you need?
- 1
kg (2.2 pound) pork chop or leg of pork
- 100-150
grams (0.25 – 0.3 pounds) smoked bacon
- Oil
- Salt
- Ground
pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
- 6-7
garlic
- 1
kg (2.2 pound) French fries (deep-frozen)
- Paprika
powder (1 teaspoon; best to use
Hungarian paprika)
How to
make it?
- Cut
the
chop on finger's breadth slices and tenderize them.
- Chop
the garlic in small pieces and mix them up
in a dish with 5-6 tablespoon
oil and add salt, pepper and paprika powder.
 Spread both sides
of the meat slices with this mixture. Put the meat on top of
each other and leave them in the fridge for at least an hour.
 Cut the
bacon in slices. Hack the top of them and finally fry the bacons. If
they are
ready, sprinkle some red paprika on them.
 After the
bacon is ready, you should fry the meats in oil. Or if you want to
sharpen the
taste, you can fry the meats in the fat of the bacons.
One
practical tip:
| If you
would like to make softer your Hungarian Gypsy Steak, I recommend
frying it
only for 10 minutes in the fry-pan.
After
that put the semi-finished meat in a
baking dish, cover them with aluminum foil and continue the roasting in
the
oven on 200 Celsius degree (390 Fahrenheit).
Approximately 30 minutes later
remove the foil and roast it for 15 minutes (of course the roasting
time
depends on the meat, so please check regularly) |
How to
serve?
 Fry the
French fries. Make a heap from the French fries on a plate and put the
Gypsy
steak on it.
Finally you have
to crown your masterpiece with the fried bacon,
as you can see it on the picture.
As this
traditional Hungarian food is quite heavy, I highly recommend serving
it with
some salad or pickles.
I
hope your first Hungarian Gypsy steak was
a great success. I’m always happy to hear about your success stories,
so please
share it with me.
