Hello! I want to share the recipe for chopped beef cutlets. The technology is somewhat different from the method of preparation based on pork, chicken or turkey. And today I will tell you a few secrets that will help make the dish tasty, soft and juicy.
Culinary Tips:
- Let the meat soak well in the marinade before roasting - the beef is tougher than pork and poultry, and you need to keep the minced meat in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Many chefs recommend pickling it during the day, and if possible, it is better to do so.
- Put mustard in the cutlet mass - it will give softness to the finished dish and will not allow it to dry out during the heat treatment.
- Take a larger onion - it provides juiciness. For 1 kg of meat you will need 2 large or 3-4 small heads.
History reference. Initially, the word "cotelette" (fr.) Meant a piece of meat cooked on a bone. But chopped cutlets appeared in the cookbooks of the second half of the 19th century. And in the first edition of the “Book about tasty and healthy food” of 1939, the corresponding section already describes minced meat products.
- Cooking time: 30 minutes preparation / 10 hours marinating / 30 minutes roasting.
- Servings Per Container: 10-12.
Ingredients:
- beef - 800 g;
- onions - 2-3 medium heads;
- eggs - 4 pcs.;
- mustard - 1 tbsp. l .;
- sour cream or mayonnaise - 2 tbsp. l .;
- starch - 1 tbsp. l .;
- wheat flour - 4 tbsp. l .;
- sugar - 1 tsp;
- salt, pepper - to taste;
- vegetable oil - for frying.
Tip. It’s better to start cooking minced meat when the beef is not completely defrosted, it’s easier to cut it. And if you have fresh meat, put it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Step-by-step recipe for beef cutlets:
- Dice the meat as small as possible. The smaller the pieces, the better they will marinate.
- Add chopped onion in a blender or grinder.
- Enter sour cream and mustard, mix thoroughly.
- Beat eggs, sprinkle flour and starch, season the minced meat with sugar, salt and pepper.
- Stir the cutlet mass until smooth. In terms of density, it should resemble dough for fritters. If liquid, add a little flour.
- Put the minced meat in the refrigerator for 10-12 hours. I usually cook it in the evening, and in the morning I start to fry the cutlets.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, mix the mass and lay out the servings with a tablespoon. Remember that they need to be well cooked, but not burned - therefore, the fire should be small, and the cooking time should be 6-8 minutes on each side, until a dark golden crust appears.
That's all! Now you can serve the dish on the table, adding mashed potatoes, boiled buckwheat or rice, pasta, salad, sliced fresh vegetables or herbs.
