Instructions

For the granola:

2. Marinate the meat slices in this marinade and leave for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat.
4. Grill the meat slices until golden brown on both sides and cooked to your preferred doneness (rare, medium, or well done).

For the potato pancakes:

1. In a large bowl, mix grated potatoes and finely chopped onion.
2. Add eggs, flour, baking soda, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.
3. If the batter is too thick, you can add baking powder for softness.
4. Heat a pan with oil over medium heat.
5. Spoon portions of batter onto the pan and fry on both sides until golden brown and cooked inside.

Tips

• Use tender meat for the granola so that it remains soft after cooking.
• For aroma and taste in potato pancakes, add some herbs like parsley or dill.
• Honey in the marinade for granola will give sweetness and a crispy crust to the meat.
• Use baking powder in the potato pancake batter to prevent sticking.
• If you don't have a grill, cook the granola on a grill pan.
• Ensure the pancakes are crispy outside and soft inside.
• Add some herbs and citrus zest to the granola marinade for a brighter flavor.

Common Mistakes

• Overcooking the meat for granola can make it tough and dry.
• Inadequate marination of meat in the marinade may miss the opportunity to add flavor and aroma.
• Forgetting to sear the meat slices on both sides can make them unevenly cooked.
• Over-salting or under-salting the potato pancake batter can spoil its taste.
• Not adding baking powder can make the pancakes too dense.
• Cooking the pancakes on too high heat can lead to charring on the outside and rawness inside.
• Lack of attention to the granola marinade can make it dull in taste.
• Forgetting to add spices to the potato pancake batter can make them tasteless.
• Not preheating the pan enough before frying the pancakes can lead to sticking.
• Undercooking the pancakes can make them raw inside.
