Cooking tips:
- Let the meat soak well in the marinade before frying - beef is tougher than pork and poultry, and you need to keep the prepared minced meat in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Many chefs recommend marinating it for 24 hours, and if possible, it is better to do so.
- Add mustard to the cutlet mixture - it will add softness to the finished dish and prevent it from drying out during heat treatment.
- Take more onion - it ensures juiciness. For 1 kg of meat you will need 2 large or 3-4 small heads.
Historical reference. Initially, the word “cotelette” (French) meant a piece of meat cooked on the bone. But chopped cutlets appeared in cookbooks of the second half of the 19th century. And in the first edition of the “Book of Tasty and Healthy Food” in 1939, minced meat products are already described in the corresponding section.

- vegetable oil - 2-3 tbsp;
- salt and pepper - to taste;

Cooking time: 40-50 minutes.
Calorie content 100 g - 250 kcal.
Cooking method:

- They are wrapped in a circle with pieces of bacon or ham. To keep them in shape, they are fastened with skewers;
- Fry the cutlets in a frying pan for 5-10 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Before serving, carefully remove the skewers, place the cutlets on toasted pieces of bread, and decorate the top with herbs and nuts.
Beef cutlets will turn out light and juicy if you follow several time-tested rules when preparing them:
- When choosing meat, you should give preference to a piece from the sternum, shoulder or tenderloin. And it’s better if this meat is fatty;
- Ideally, the meat for cutlets should be fresh and chilled. But if the piece was frozen, then it needs to be defrosted correctly - in a cool place, protected from sunlight and hot air. The defrosting process will be long, but the meat will retain its juices;
- The cutlet mince should be tender. To do this, it is scrolled through a meat grinder several times, and when kneading, it is beaten on a bowl or table. Chopped minced meat is kneaded more thoroughly than twisted in a meat grinder;
- If the minced meat is prepared in reserve and will be frozen, you do not need to add anything to it. All other ingredients, except meat, and spices should be added immediately before sculpting the cutlets;
- There are many ways to add juiciness to ground beef. The easiest one is to add some minced pork to it. But besides it, you can also add raw vegetables: potatoes, carrots, beets, pumpkin or zucchini. You need very few vegetables and they should be minced in a meat grinder or finely grated. Onions are always added;
- If you add 1-2 tbsp to the minced meat before kneading. spoons of ice water or melted butter, it will become even juicier;
- To prevent beef cutlets from falling apart during frying, either the stiffly beaten white of one egg or bread soaked in milk is added to hold the minced meat together. The bread can be wheat or rye, but it is important that it is not a fresh, but already dried bun;
- Before modeling, the finished minced meat must be cooled for half an hour;
- When frying, place the cutlets on an already hot, but not overheated frying pan. First, they are fried over high heat for 2 minutes, and then, reducing the flame by half, for another 3-5 minutes on each side;
- The finished dish is brought to readiness in the oven or in a frying pan under a tight lid for another 5-10 minutes. At the same stage, you can add sauce or sour cream to it.
The resulting beef cutlets can compete with even the most exquisite dish on the holiday table.
Beef cutlets are considered a common dish nowadays because they are easy to prepare and turn out especially tasty, soft and juicy. To prepare the dish, it is better to choose veal or meat from the neck or back, as it is softer and does not lose juiciness during frying. You can make cutlets either on the stove or in the oven - it depends on the personal preferences of the family. The dish can also be served with any side dishes, for example, cereals, potatoes, vegetable salads, and so on.
To make the dish soft and juicy, experienced chefs advise grinding the meat in a meat grinder or food processor several times. It would also be a good idea to add an onion and a few cloves of garlic to the minced meat.
Required ingredients:
- 500 grams of beef (it is advisable to use lean meat);
- one potato; onion;
- 100 ml milk (preferably low-fat);
- a couple of cloves of garlic;
- a slice of old bread (preferably black);
- one egg;
- salt and pepper to taste.
How to cook a dish
Break the bread into small pieces and pour in milk. After 5 minutes it will get wet and absorb almost all the liquid.
Peel the onions, potatoes and garlic and rinse thoroughly. Then we cut the products into large pieces and grind them in a blender or meat grinder. Next, grind the beef in the same way, which needs to be cut in advance, remove all the fat and rinse well. You should also grind the soaked bread.
Mix all the crushed ingredients in a plate, break the egg, add salt and spices. Mix the minced meat thoroughly and let it sit for a while. As a result, the mass should be homogeneous.
We form small cutlets from the minced meat (it is better to do this with wet hands so that the mass does not stick) so that they fry faster. If desired, they can be rolled in flour, semolina or crushed breadcrumbs. Then place the cutlets in heated oil and fry them over high heat on both sides until a light crust appears. After this, you need to reduce the heat, close the pan with a lid and bring the beef meatballs to readiness.
To ensure juicy beef cutlets have a crispy crust, you need to cook them without closing the lid.

Beef cutlets food preparation
You need to approach the choice of meat for cutlets very responsibly. Of course, you can use ready-made store-bought minced meat. But it has several disadvantages: there is practically no meat juice in such minced meat, it is impossible to vouch for the quality of the product and the thoroughness of pre-processing.
Therefore, it is better to prepare minced meat yourself, purchasing for this the neck part, parts of the back, lean beef brisket. These parts of beef contain more collagen and improve the taste of the dish.
Speaking of preparing meat, it needs to be thoroughly cleaned to remove unnecessary fat, cartilage and connective tissue.
You can also use a meat grinder for grinding, but then some of the meat juice will be lost. Therefore, it is better to chop the meat for cutlets. It is most convenient to do this with two heavy, sharp and large knives. When chopping meat, you can add beef kidney fat (one fourth of the amount of meat), which will make the cutlets more juicy. To the chopped meat with fat, add a crumb of bread, which is soaked in milk. It is advisable to use white bread and not fresh pastries, let it be a little stale.

Recipe 3: Tender Beef Cutlets
These cutlets are juicy and tender thanks to the addition of milk to the minced meat. By the way, it takes only about half an hour to cook them quickly.
500 grams of ground beef,
large onion,
a tablespoon of mustard,
2 medium sized potatoes,
vegetable oil for frying
4 cloves of garlic,
1. Through a meat grinder or on a fine grater, you need to grate peeled potatoes, garlic and onions.
2. The minced meat should be mixed with grated vegetables, then add milk, mustard and a lightly beaten egg. Don't forget to add pepper and salt.
3. The minced meat should be kneaded with your hands, and then formed into small oval cutlets. Before frying, cutlets need to be rolled in a mixture of semolina and breadcrumbs. Then fry in hot oil.
- about bread. Some say that there is no need to put bread in cutlets, they say, this is a relic of the Soviet past, when bread was added in order to save money. In fact, bread is added to retain the juice in the cutlets. After all, the bond of fibers in meat passed through a meat grinder is broken and the juice will simply flow out during frying. While the bread absorbs this juice, the cutlets turn out juicier.
- about eggs. Some recipes for making cutlets indicate the addition of eggs, others do not. But it is believed that it is not worth adding eggs to minced meat; egg whites quickly coagulate when frying, and this contributes to the loss of cutlet juice.
- about the onion. Experienced housewives believe that chopped onions should be added to minced meat not raw, but lightly sautéed in butter. Raw onions make the finished cutlets tougher.
- about water. Experienced cooks make cutlets more juicy by adding a little very cold water or finely crushed ice to the minced meat. This ensures that during frying it is the water that will evaporate, and the meat juice will remain in the cutlets.
The main thing is to know when to stop. If you add too much water, the cutlets may begin to fall apart.
- about fat. The best option for frying cutlets is ghee. You can also use pork lard. If it is not there, then fry it in vegetable oil.
