Beef cutlets

Cookinero 15 Apr 2025

Juicy beef cutlets are one of the most favorite meat dishes for both adults and children. Most often, homemade beef cutlets are cooked in a frying pan from ground beef, with the addition of eggs and flour. But few people know that the last ingredient can be replaced with semolina. This way, the cutlets will be less caloric, tender and tasty.
