French-style meat without an oven
Description
Hearty and delicious French-style meat cooked at home without an oven is just as tasty as the classic version. In this case, you can use not only tomatoes but also mushrooms and other vegetables to taste. If the meat is not fatty enough, you can add a little water or broth to the pan during cooking.
