Unfortunately, I don’t yet have a photo or description of the meat to accurately identify the type (and since I don’t have permission to access your personal data, I can’t view your files or photos).
However, if you describe the meat to me (is it light, dark red, bone-in, marbled?), I’d be happy to help you identify it.
In the meantime, I have a universal, incredibly delicious recipe for you that works for almost any type of meat (pork, beef, chicken, and turkey): Traditional meat with garlic and onions baked in a casserole dish.
🍽️ Juicy Meat with Garlic and Onions (Universal Recipe)
This recipe is guaranteed to work. The meat becomes wonderfully tender, doesn’t dry out, and releases its own perfect juices.
Ingredients:
Meat: approx. 800 g (e.g., pork neck/shoulder, beef sirloin, or chicken thigh)
Onions: 2–3 large onions (cut into wedges)
Garlic: 1 whole clove (rub half with salt, leave the other half whole)
Lard or oil: 2 tbsp
Spices: Salt, freshly ground black pepper, 1 tsp ground cumin
For the sauce: approx. 150 ml water or stock
Preparation:
Prepare the meat: Cut the meat into large cubes or slices, or (for poultry) leave whole. Thoroughly massage the salt, pepper, ground cumin, and crushed garlic into the meat.
Prepare the casserole dish: Distribute the chopped onion and the remaining garlic cloves on the bottom of the casserole dish (simply press down lightly with the flat side of a knife).
To serve: Place the prepared meat on top of the onions and drizzle with lard or oil. Add a little water or broth (not too much, as the meat and onions will release their own juices).
Bake covered: Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil. Place it in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F).
Chicken: Bake covered for about 45 minutes.
Pork: Bake covered for about 1.5 hours (until almost falling off the bone/tender).
Beef: Bake covered for about 2 to 2.5 hours.
Crispy crust: Once the meat is completely tender, remove the lid, pour the sauce over it, and bake for another 15–20 minutes at 200°C (400°F) until it has a nice golden color.
What goes well with it?
This meat tastes great with mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or simply with fresh sourdough bread and pickles.
Tip: If you describe what your meat looks like (or whether it has skin, bones, etc.), we’ll adjust the recipe accordingly right away! So, what kind of meat is it?
