Cigánypecsenye

This recipe for cigánypecsenye was originally published in Hungarian on kepesrecepttar.hu.

Ingredients:
1 kilogram tarja
300 grams smoked szalonna
8 garlic cloves
500 grams (at least) onions
Flour
Oil
Salt
Pepper
Paprika

Method:
You will need the same number of bacon slices as the number of meat slices you want to make. Make cuts on the bacon slices so that they resemble a rooster’s crest. Place bacon on a plate and microwave it for 2-3 minutes to let the fat out. Put fat in a pot, slice onions into circles and half-fry them in the fat. Slice and tenderize the meat. Crush the garlic and mix with a small amount of oil in a cup. Grease the meat with the mixture and add salt and pepper. Dip both sides of the meat slices in flour and half-fry them in oil. (This is to prevent the meat drying out too much in the oven.) Place the onions in a pan, place meat on top and put one slice of bacon on each slice of meat. Bake for 20 minutes, sprinkle with paprika and serve with fries.
