Classic cutlets

Everything, as grandmothers taught: a mixture of two types of minced meat, bread soaked in milk for splendor - and no proteins!

How to cook Classic cutlets

Step 1

Using your hands, mix the minced meat with the onion-garlic mass, adding bread with milk, yolks and 3-4 tbsp. l. water. Salt and pepper.

Step 4

Beat the minced meat, collecting it into a ball and throwing it with force on the work surface. After 5–7 min. beating the minced meat should stop flying into pieces. Cover it and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Classic cutlets - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use all beef for a richer flavor or all pork for a juicier texture. Adjust seasoning as needed since pork is naturally sweeter.
Use gluten-free bread or rolled oats soaked in milk. Almond flour or crushed gluten-free crackers also work well as binders.
Cooked cutlets last 3–4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to retain moisture.
Replace the meat with a mix of mashed lentils, mushrooms, and walnuts for a hearty vegetarian alternative. Use flax eggs instead of yolks.
Freeze uncooked patties on a tray, then transfer to a bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before frying, or cook frozen at lower heat.
Beating develops proteins for a firmer texture, preventing crumbly cutlets. It also evenly distributes fat for juiciness.
Yes! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 mins, flipping halfway. Brush with oil for crispiness.
Try mashed potatoes, steamed greens, or a tangy slaw. A dollop of sour cream or apple sauce adds contrast.
