The second recipe from my selection today is juicy steamed beef cutlets. I make them in a slow cooker, which significantly saves time and effort. However, in its absence, you can use an ordinary double boiler. Due to the lack of fatty meat and calcined sunflower oil in the cutlets, they can be given even to the smallest children.

- egg yolks - 2 pcs.;
- onions - 150 g;
- finely ground oat flakes - 100 g;
- milk - 100 ml;

On a note! To make the cutlets even more tender, mince and onions can be scrolled through a meat grinder twice.
Cooking:
- Soak oat flakes in milk at room temperature and leave for 1 hour.
- Chop the onion finely. In a deep bowl, combine the oatmeal, minced meat, yolks and onions. Form small cutlets.
- Pour about 1 liter of water into the multicooker bowl. Such devices have different volumes, so if necessary, refer to the instructions.
- Lubricate the mold with vegetable oil and place the patties in it. Close the slow cooker and cook in steam mode for 30 minutes. If your appliance does not have such a function, use the “Cooking” or “Multi-cook” buttons.
- Leave the steam cutlets for 10-15 minutes under a closed lid with the “Heating” mode on.
Serve the finished dish with boiled buckwheat, rice, mashed potatoes or stewed vegetables.
