Baked meat is a simple, but so tasty and beloved dish that is perfect for both an everyday table and a holiday one. We all know a lot of recipes for cooking meat in the oven. We add different spices, marinate with different ingredients, use foil or a baking bag, slice or bake whole. But today we will share with you tips on how to cook meat perfectly, tasty and incredibly easy. To prepare the dish we will need: meat, spices, mustard, soy sauce.

As always, we start with the choice of meat. Here you can choose according to your taste, which one you like best, which suits you best in terms of fat content and taste. You can bake any meat, most often choosing pork or veal. Veal will be leaner, but pork will be fattier and juicier. The most important thing is to choose meat from an old animal, because no matter how hard you try, it will turn out tough and dry. Young and fresh meat is pinkish in color, not deep red. Check if the meat is covered with a dry crust; this is a sign that it has been lying on the counter for a long time and has become weathered. For baking, choose a piece of meat that is not too thick, because it will be difficult for it to marinate and cook well.

Before marinating, rinse the meat under cold running water and dry with a paper towel. For marinating, mix soy sauce with mustard until smooth. Now a small but very useful tip: add a couple of tablespoons of sunflower oil, this will allow the meat to better absorb the marinade. Add the spices you like best to the mixture of soy sauce and mustard, this could be: nutmeg, rosemary, marjoram, dried garlic, suneli hops, paprika and so on. Regarding nutmeg: be careful not to overdo it, because this spice has a very strong aroma and taste, it can overwhelm the entire taste of the meat.

It is best to bake meat on a baking sheet covered with foil. Place the meat in a well-heated oven and bake for about an hour and a half at a temperature of 200 degrees. 15 minutes before it is ready, remove the foil from the meat, thanks to this an appetizing crust will form on the meat. You can check the readiness of the meat as follows: make a small cut in the thickest place and see if there is blood inside; if not, then the meat is ready. You can serve meat with fresh vegetables, pickles, and various sauces.
