Meat in a bag in the microwave
Description
As you can see from the number of ingredients, this classic microwave oven-in-a-bag meat recipe is merely a basis for your culinary experiments. Don't like pork? Substitute beef. Don't like mustard? Replace it with vegetable oil, soy sauce, or mayonnaise. And the possibilities for experimenting with spices are endless... So without further delay, let's get started :) Microwave oven-in-a-bag meat recipe: 1. First, defrost the meat if necessary, and prepare it for cooking. Depending on the cut you've chosen for this microwave oven-in-a-bag meat recipe, remove any excess bones or fat. 2. Lightly tenderize the meat with a meat mallet, as flatter meat will cook faster. 3. Now rub the prepared pork with spices to taste, and season with salt and pepper. Be sure to thoroughly "work" the seasoning into the meat to ensure even flavor. 4. Simply take a roasting bag and carefully place the meat inside. Make sure the bag is long enough to allow tying the ends with string, or use special bag clips. Most importantly, ensure that the string or clips are microwave-safe and won't melt during cooking. 5. For this microwave oven-in-a-bag meat recipe, place the bag into a dish with raised edges, then put it into the microwave oven. 6. Spread out the bag so it doesn't tightly cling to the meat—leave space for air. To achieve this, pierce the bottom of the bag several times with a fork. Then, all that remains in this simple microwave oven-in-a-bag meat recipe is to set the microwave to medium power for 20 minutes. After cooking, do not remove the meat immediately—let it rest for another 10 minutes. 7. Pierce the pork in several places with a toothpick or fork to check for doneness. If needed, flip the meat over without removing it from the bag, and return it to the microwave until fully cooked. Finally, take it out, remove from the bag, slice, and garnish with herbs or vegetables. Serve with a side dish, pouring over the juices released during cooking.
