For 2 serving

Ingredients

2 slices of pork neck with bone (each approx. 200 g)
1 tablespoon Farmářský steak spice (Vitana)
2 tablespoons oil
2 large onions
200 ml light beer
50 ml broth or water
1 tablespoon lard

Preparation procedure

Marinating the meat Coat the pork neck slices about 2 cm thick with oil and sprinkle with the seasoning. Store in the refrigerator and let marinate for at least 24 hours. Before roasting, let the meat sit at room temperature for an hour.
Searing the meat In a hot pan, sear the meat on high heat for about 3 minutes on each side to seal it.
Preparing to roast Put the lard and half of the onion cut into half-rings on the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the meat on it and cover with the remaining onion. Pour in the beer, cover with a lid or foil, and roast in an oven preheated to 220 °C for about 60 minutes.
Finishing and thickening the drippings After an hour, uncover the meat, add broth or water, and finish roasting until golden. Let the drippings reduce slightly to create a tasty gravy.

Total preparation time

24 hours marinating + 1 hour roasting + 15 minutes preparation = approximately 25 hours (1.5 hours active)
