Beef à la française with tomatoes
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This delicious and visually appealing French-style beef with tomatoes is baked in the oven with Béchamel sauce, tomatoes, and cheese. This tasty and sophisticated dish is perfect for both festive occasions and everyday lunches and dinners. To make the beef even more tender and juicy, I recommend marinating it beforehand, for example, in soy sauce. The result is amazing. I suggest serving this beef with a simple side dish, such as mashed potatoes or a vegetable salad. Good luck! The dish is ready to be served.

Step 1
We prepare the "Béchamel" sauce. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter, add salt and place a garlic clove (you can crush it with a knife, but do not chop). Once the butter has heated, add flour and a pinch of ground nutmeg, quickly stirring with a spatula. While constantly stirring, gradually pour in the cold milk. As soon as the sauce thickens, remove it from the heat.
