Everyone knows about the benefits of meat. It contains a large amount of protein, microelements and perfectly raises hemoglobin. You can make cutlets, broth from the meat, boil it or fry it, make homemade sausages or beef soufflé.
It is worth saying that the soufflé turns out to be very tender and tasty. Even a child can easily eat it on his own, although children usually have a negative attitude towards meat dishes due to the fact that they must be chewed thoroughly. Beef soufflé can be prepared in a variety of ways with different ingredients. Let's look at the most popular recipes.
Method one: steamed beef soufflé
More and more housewives have recently been using a double boiler. When steamed, dishes retain their nutrients as much as possible. In addition, they do not contain fat, which is necessary when frying.
To prepare steamed beef soufflé, first boil the meat until fully cooked. You will also need a small amount of boiled rice, an egg and butter.
Grind the beef using a blender and mix with rice. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until you obtain a homogeneous paste. Add mashed butter and yolk. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg white until foamy and add it to the minced meat. After this, pour the mixture into molds and place in a double boiler.
If you don’t have the latter, you can use a regular pan and a net to prepare manti. Boil water and place the grid with the molds over the steam.
As soon as the beef soufflé “sets” and hardens, the dish is ready.
Meat “pie” for little gourmets: prepare in 4 steps
France is considered the birthplace of soufflé. At first, this name meant an exclusively airy dessert based on fluffy whipped whites. However, later they began to prepare savory versions - vegetable, fish, meat. Mothers often prepare meat soufflé for children. This is a real lifesaver. Even those kids who categorically refuse meat in any form love the dish. What's the secret? In an unusual portion serving, airy consistency and delicate taste. What do you need to know about cooking? Here are the four main steps you'll need to take.
- Boil and grind the meat. For children's soufflé, the meat is first boiled and then pureed using a blender.
- Beat the egg white thoroughly. The splendor and tenderness of the souffle depends on this, so you need to try.
- Choosing a kitchen device. The soufflé turns out equally well in the oven, microwave oven, or double boiler. The main thing is to choose a recipe for the device. For the menu of the little ones, it is better to steam the dish.
- We buy silicone molds. One mold - one serving. Very convenient, especially when it comes to complementary feeding. The molds should be filled no more than three-quarters full: the mixture will rise during the cooking process.
Method two. Beef soufflé in a slow cooker
Having a multicooker makes the process of preparing this dish much easier. The housewife does not have to stand near the stove and make sure that the beef soufflé does not burn.
Take a piece of meat and grind it in a blender. Add egg yolk, salt and spices to taste, as well as a few tablespoons of sour cream. Separately, beat the egg whites until stiff. After this, mix all the ingredients and pour the mixture into a multicooker pan. Set the soufflé mode. If your household appliance does not have this function, you can turn on the casserole mode.
The multicooker will signal itself when your dish is ready.
How to cook chicken soufflé?
Chicken soufflé is prepared from chicken minced to a puree with the addition of eggs, dairy products, and spices. The dish is steamed or baked in the oven.
- As a base component for making soufflé, you can use poultry breast, pulp from thighs, legs or chicken liver.
- Meat slices or minced meat are processed to a tender texture with a blender.
- When adding eggs, the yolks are combined with the meat before chopping it, and the whites, whipped to peaks, are mixed in with a spoon using gentle upward movements at the final stage of preparing the base.
- Any of the recipes will become brighter and the taste of the finished delicacy more piquant if you supplement the meat composition with finely chopped herbs, aromatic seasonings of your choice and spices.
Third method: beef soufflé in a frying pan
One of the easiest ways to cook meat is fried beef soufflé. The recipe for this dish requires boiled meat, milk and eggs.
Grind the beef using a blender or meat grinder. Mix the egg with salt and your favorite spices. Add the egg mixture to the meat and mix thoroughly. Pour half a glass of milk into the minced meat and bring it to a smooth consistency.
Heat a frying pan over heat and grease with a small amount of oil. Place the meat mixture in a frying pan and fry for 5-7 minutes. After this, carefully turn the beef soufflé over to the other side and wait another 3 minutes. Make sure your dish doesn't burn. After cooking, transfer the meat to a plate and you can start eating.
Another option: soufflé in the oven
The most common way to prepare meat soufflé is to use the oven. For this recipe you will need boiled meat, an egg, two small potatoes and mayonnaise.
Beat the meat with a small amount of mayonnaise in a blender. Add the egg yolk to the mixture and stir. The egg white must be beaten for 2 minutes in a separate bowl. Salt the minced meat and mix with protein foam. Peel the potatoes and grate them on a fine grater. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and place in a baking dish. Preheat the oven. Never place prepared baking mixture in a cold oven. Otherwise, you risk getting a soufflé that is not baked inside and burns on the outside.
Place the dish in the oven and bake at 180 degrees for 25 minutes. If desired, you can sprinkle the beef soufflé with grated cheese or herbs 5-7 minutes before it is ready.
Microwave meat soufflé recipe
Everyone knows that you cannot bake eggs in the microwave, but this only applies to the product in the shell. That is why this type of technique is ideal for making soufflés.
Boil the carrots and meat and grind both ingredients using a blender. Beat the yolk and white separately, adding salt and spices. Mix the resulting mixtures thoroughly.
Heat some milk and melt a piece of butter in it. Add liquid to ground meat. This technique will help make the finished dish even more tender and soft. This kind of beef soufflé will be very useful for a child. Mix the products until smooth and place them in a microwave-safe dish.
Set the appliance to baking mode and cook the dish for 25 minutes. Make sure that the product does not begin to brown. Due to the fact that microwaves come in different power levels, the cooking time may be reduced or increased by up to 10 minutes.

A variety of soufflés are often prepared for small children, because they are easier for children to eat.
Chicken souffle according to this recipe is suitable for children over 9-12 months. It is steamed, which makes it a tender, dietary dish. In addition, it contains a lot of protein, which is very necessary for a growing body.
Products:

- Milk - 2 tbsp. l.
The quantity of products is calculated for one serving. But if the children's chicken soufflé is served with a side dish, then it will be enough for two servings. Cut the boiled chicken breast into pieces and place in a blender container. Using a blender, make chicken puree. The chicken breast mixture should be uniform. Thus, if the blender is not working well, add a little milk to the meat. Cook soft rice porridge from one tablespoon of rice and milk. The easiest way to cook such a small amount of rice is in the microwave. To do this, the rice is first filled with water (two fingers above the rice) and cooked in a deep container so that when boiling, the water does not pour out over the edges. Then milk is added to the almost finished rice and cooked until soft. In the microwave, cooking rice takes approximately 7-10 minutes. Add the finished rice porridge to the chicken puree, mix everything together with a blender. Add the yolk and melted butter. Mix with a spoon. Beat the white separately into a thick foam. Add protein foam to chicken puree and stir. Place the chicken soufflé in a mold (or several small molds), after greasing it with butter. Steam chicken soufflé for children for 20-25 minutes. Cool the finished soufflé slightly and remove from the mold. You can serve it as a separate dish or with a side dish: mashed potatoes or buckwheat porridge.

Beef souffle can be garnished with almost any product. Stewed or steamed vegetables, boiled potatoes or cereals will be ideally combined with it. The meat dish can also be served with pasta. With a little imagination, you can even make a casserole of pasta and meat soufflé with cheese.
