About Njeguški steak
Stek Njegoš combines thin veal steaks with Njeguši cheese and cured ham. Milovan Stojanović’s rendition presents this filled steak with potatoes and kajmak.
Ham and cheese provide the rich centre, while butter and the meat’s own juices accompany the veal. Salt and pepper season the dish, with chopped thyme coating the small balls of kajmak.
The folded steak, roasted potatoes and thyme-flecked dairy garnish form a substantial plate. This is the documented veal rendition associated with Montenegro’s Njeguši ingredients.
