Homemade cutlets and meatballs are one of the most popular and favorite dishes in the daily and festive menu. This minced meat dish is prepared for relatives and loved ones, because if you cook them with love, cutlets will acquire even more tenderness, juiciness and taste, this has been proven by many housewives around the world.

Peter I successfully opened a window to Europe, and by the end of the 19th century we got the very minced meat flatbread, which in our time is commonly called a cutlet. A little later, it was customary to cook cutlets not only from meat, but also from fish, vegetables, poultry and rice.

Today we will consider with you ground beef cutlets, which are considered to be the most classic and traditional way of cooking. This recipe for juicy beef cutlets is suitable for both novice cooks and more experienced cooks who want to cook something new and surprise their family and friends.

Let's take a closer look at the recipe and figure out how to easily cook lush beef cutlets in a pan and in the oven so that it turns out like a pro!

Our main task is to make cutlets juicy, because few people will like dry meat. It is best to make the minced meat yourself, scrolling on a large grill or in a blender. In order for the cutlets to be soft, meat should be chosen with a small amount of fat, which, when fried, will release juice, soften the meat fibers, and the cutlets will not be hard and dry. If the meat is without fatty streaks, then you can scroll along with it a small piece of fat. We will also add a tablespoon of sour cream to the minced meat, or a little milk - this is one of the main secrets of the juiciness of ground beef cutlets.
So that the minced meat does not fall apart and does not stick to the pan at the very beginning of frying, it should be laid out already on a hot pan, in which the oil begins to sizzle. You should start frying on high heat and always without a lid, the high temperature during frying forms a crust that will keep all the juice and fat inside the cutlets. Well, before that, the minced meat should be beaten off and kneaded well (more on this in a step-by-step cooking guide). Also, breading minced meat in flour or breadcrumbs will save from sticking.

Ingredients

Let's start cooking

Let's take a step-by-step look at how cutlets are fried properly in a pan:

First you need to prepare a bowl, fill it with a crumb of bread (preferably black or gray) and pour it with water. The water should soak the bread.
We clean the onion from the husk and begin to chop it. If you are not a big fan of large onion pieces in cutlets, then we cut the onion into large pieces and pass it through a meat grinder along with the meat, but no one will forbid you to cut the onion smaller and just add it to the finished minced meat.
We install a meat grinder or blender, pass the minced meat with or without onions through a large grate.
Add 1-2 eggs to the minced meat, a tablespoon of sour cream, soaked bread (the water in which the bread was soaked should also be poured into a bowl with minced meat, the softness and juiciness of the cutlets also depend on this).
Salt (for 1 kg of meat we take a teaspoon of salt with a small slide), pepper (a little less, about a third of a teaspoon).
Now it is important to properly prepare the minced meat for laying out in the pan. It must be mixed with a hand moistened with water, after which, when you make sure that all the ingredients are mixed well enough.
We leave the minced meat to rest for 10-15 minutes, during which time it will marinate with onion juice and salt and pepper.
We put the pan on a high fire and fill its bottom with vegetable oil for frying.
With wet hands, we form cutlets of an oval or round shape (not spherical, slightly flat, flattened).
Before frying the cutlets, bread them in flour and put them on a hot frying pan.
About how much you need to fry beef cutlets, their crust should tell. At first, it is enough to fry on both sides for about five minutes without a lid. After that, reduce the heat to medium, you can add a little water to the pan and cover with a lid. We bring the cutlets to readiness for 10-15 minutes.
We spread the already prepared cutlets on a dish and let them cool and rest for 5 minutes.

Recipe for beef cutlets in the oven

For many housewives, frying something in a pan is a real test. During frying, a smell is formed that settles on clothes, hair, hands, and this is what discourages all the desire to cook something. Here we look at the secret to cooking ground beef patties in the oven!

Cooking time: 1.5-2 hours.
Servings: for three or four.
Kitchen appliances and utensils: stove, oven, meat grinder or blender, wooden spatula, saucepan or bowl.

Ingredients

1 kg of beef meat (you can use beef with pork in different proportions);
2 large onions;
crumb of bread;
a tablespoon of sour cream;
1 teaspoon of salt;

a third of a teaspoon of ground black pepper;
vegetable refined oil;
flour for breading;
1-2 eggs.

Let's start cooking

First of all, the crumb of bread must be put in a bowl and pour water over it. We will add the softened bread to the minced meat.
We begin to peel the onion from the husk, cut it into small half rings, or grind it in a blender or in a meat grinder along with the meat.
We install a meat grinder or a blender, cut the meat into large pieces and scroll it on a large grill.
We add eggs, soaked bread to the minced meat (the water in which the bread was soaked should also be drained into a bowl with minced meat), a tablespoon of sour cream, salt (a teaspoon of salt with a slide is enough for 1 kg of meat), pepper (about a third of a teaspoon).
Now you should prepare the stuffing. It must be mixed with a hand moistened with hot water, to ensure that all the minced ingredients are mixed evenly.
The next step will be kneading the minced meat.
Leave the minced meat to rest for 10-15 minutes, during which time it will marinate a little with onion juice.
Turn on the oven to 180 degrees and let it heat up.
It will not work to make a crispy and golden crust in the oven, so the initial frying will have to be done again in a pan. We put it on a strong fire, fill the bottom of the pan with vegetable oil and wait until it starts to sizzle.
Wet hands with hot water and start forming cutlets. We sculpt oval-shaped cutlets from minced meat (not spherical, slightly flattened), bread them in flour and put them on a hot frying pan.
Fry the cutlets on both sides for 3 minutes, achieving a golden crust.
We spread the cutlets on a baking sheet covered with foil or baking paper and send them to the oven.
Periodically check their readiness with a wooden stick, after which we put the finished cutlets on a dish and let them cool for about 5 minutes.

It is worth recognizing that this method of cooking cutlets is the most correct. Primary frying in a pan gives the cutlets a crust, and bringing them to readiness in the oven, we get cutlets of a completely different level! If you really don’t want to touch your pan in this recipe, then you can skip the initial frying step. You will have to say goodbye to the crispy crust, but this will in no way affect the taste of the cutlets themselves.

First, prepare the bread part. To do this, the pulp is combined with milk in a separate bowl and crushed by hand. Previously, bread can be passed through a blender, but even without it, the desired consistency is obtained.

The next step is to add the eggs. In the recipe for ground beef cutlets in a pan, their main purpose is to bind the minced meat components. In the future, the balls will be easier to form and fry. They won't fall apart. The milk-bread mixture is thoroughly mixed with eggs until smooth.

After that, the beef is combined with the previously prepared mass. Everything is mixed. At this stage, it is more convenient to mix with your hands, but you can do it with a spoon.

Garlic is passed through a press. You can grate it on the smallest grater or chop with a knife. But it is the garlic press that will provide the maximum aroma and rich taste.

The onion is rubbed on a grater. In such a case, it is important to do this in a bowl to preserve the juice. Chopped vegetables are added to beef. Also use a blender for this purpose. This component will give juiciness to future cutlets.

Then add salt, pepper and other spices to taste. Mix the ground beef with your hands. It definitely needs to be beaten off. So, excess air will come out of it, and future products will turn out to be softer.

Now proceed directly to sculpting. The balls should be of medium size, 7-9 cm long and 4-5 cm wide. Ready cutlets are not laid out too tightly on the cutting board. For those who like a crispy crust, they are also rolled in breadcrumbs. According to this recipe, juicy minced beef cutlets in a pan keep their shape well and will not fall apart.

Heat a frying pan on the stove and add oil. You can spread the cutlets only after it warms up. You don't need to put them too tightly in the pan so that each one can fry well.

Fry beef cutlets in a pan for 10 minutes on each side. After that, transfer to a saucepan for stewing.

After all of them are fried, water is added to the pan 2-3 cm above the bottom and set to simmer over low heat for another 10 minutes.

Minced beef cutlets in a pan are ready. They are served hot with any side dish. It is optimal to combine the dish with cereals. For a more festive serving, cutlets are sprinkled with dill or parsley.

Today we will focus on a more classic version of cooking cutlets, we will cook them from beef, and not only in a pan, but also in the oven!

Recipe for juicy beef cutlets in a pan

Kitchen appliances: frying pan, knife, cutting board, stove, deep plate, bowl, grater, garlic press, kitchen spatula.

Ingredients

How to cook beef cutlets in a pan

First of all, you need to put about 80-90 g of bread in a deep plate. White or brown bread works great in this recipe. You only need the crumb, you should get rid of the crust. Bread pour 180-200 ml of milk. Bread should not float in milk, it should only absorb liquid and completely soak, after which it must be thoroughly kneaded with a fork to a mushy state.
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl of soaked bread.
With a regular fork, thoroughly mix the contents of the plate until a homogeneous porridge-like mixture.
We send 380-400 g of ground beef to a bowl. You can use already prepared purchased minced meat, you can also cook it from a whole piece of beef. Most importantly, do not forget to thoroughly rinse the piece of meat, as well as get rid of fatty streaks and films, after which the beef can be driven through a meat grinder along with garlic and onions.
Add the egg mixture from the plate prepared earlier to the bowl with minced meat.
With clean hands, thoroughly mix the minced meat with the egg mixture, achieving a homogeneous mass.
We spread the garlic cloves on a cutting board, after which we press them down with the side surface of the knife or with an ordinary spoon. After this manipulation, it will be easier to remove the husk from the garlic cloves. Run each clove of garlic through a garlic press directly into the bowl of minced meat.
We clean the husk from the onion, after which we arm ourselves with a grater and rub the onion. You should not rub the onion immediately into the bowl with minced meat, since a rather liquid mass is formed, and we don’t need too much liquid, so drain all excess liquid before adding the chopped onion to the minced meat.
In a bowl with minced meat, add the amount of salt you need, and also pepper or add your favorite seasonings for meat.
Again, thoroughly mix all the ingredients in a bowl so that they are evenly distributed in relation to each other. Before frying the resulting mass, it is necessary to let it brew for about 10-15 minutes, and it is not necessary to remove it in the refrigerator.
We heat the pan over high heat, then pour 45-55 ml of vegetable refined oil for frying into it, after which we evenly distribute it over the entire surface of this utensil.
We begin to form cutlets from the resulting mixture. We tear off small pieces of minced meat from a bowl, which we roll into medium-sized balls, after which we put each of them in a pan. If the stuffing turned out to be too liquid, then put it in the pan with a regular tablespoon. In this case, the pan should be very hot, so that the minced meat is instantly covered with a crust and does not spread.
How long do you need to fry beef cutlets? By and large, it’s worth navigating by eye, but approximate time frames still exist. Fry the cutlets over medium heat until a whitish-ruddy color forms (about 10 minutes), then turn them over to the other side, fry for another 10 minutes and cover the pan with a lid for another 5 minutes.
We put the finished cutlets on a dish, let them cool for 5 minutes, after which they can be served with a side dish. Enjoy your meal!

Video recipe for cooking beef cutlets in a pan

Cooking this dish will not be difficult even for the greenest beginners in cooking. But if you want to see all the cooking steps visually, then the video recipe below is especially for you!

Recipe for beef cutlets in the oven

Cooking time: 55-65 minutes.
Servings: 9-10 pieces.
Kitchen appliances: oven, knife, cutting board, bowl, baking sheet, deep plate, 2 flat plates.

Ingredients

How to cook beef cutlets in the oven

Peel the onion and chop finely on a cutting board.
We tear white bread (140-150 g) without a crust into small pieces and soak it in milk (80-100 ml).
Put the prepared ground beef in a bowl, about 630-650 g. If you want to cook the ground beef yourself, then do not forget to thoroughly rinse the beef in water, and also get rid of various fatty streaks and films, after which the meat can be driven through a meat grinder along with onions .
Add the soaked bread to the minced meat, as well as chopped onions.
We beat one chicken egg, and also add a little salt and pepper to taste.
Now the minced meat must be thoroughly kneaded and evenly mix all the ingredients together. This will take a certain amount of time, about 5-10 minutes.
Now it is desirable to beat off the minced meat a little. We just tear off a medium-sized piece from it and throw it back into the minced meat from a distance of 30 cm. We do this procedure for about 5 minutes.
We divide the minced meat into pieces that are convenient for you in advance, forming blanks for our future cutlets from them.
Pour flour (90-100 g) onto a flat plate, add a little salt and pepper to it. Mix them in flour with a fork.
We beat the chicken egg into a deep plate, which we also salt and pepper, then beat until smooth with a fork.
Pour breadcrumbs into another flat plate, about 90-100 g.
Let's start breading our stuffing. Roll each cutlet blank in flour, dip in beaten egg, and then roll in breadcrumbs. We do this procedure with each ball of minced meat.
We heat the pan over high heat, after which we pour 45-55 ml of vegetable refined oil for frying into it.
Put the first batch of our blanks for cutlets on a hot frying pan and fry them on both sides for two minutes until crispy golden brown. No oven will give cutlets such a wonderful crispy crust as frying in a pan. But at the same time, cutlets cooked in a pan cannot boast such tenderness and softness as cutlets cooked in the oven. Therefore, we combine both cooking methods in order to get just the perfect taste and structure of the patty. Yes, it is more time consuming, but believe me, the result is definitely worth it.
We heat the oven to 180 degrees.
As soon as all the cutlets are first fried in a pan, put them on a baking sheet and send them to a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
Remove the juicy ground beef patties from the oven and place on a serving platter. Leave them to cool for about 5 minutes, after which they can be served with a side dish. Enjoy your meal!

Beef cutlets - food preparation

You need to approach the choice of meat for cutlets very responsibly. Of course, you can use ready-made minced meat. But it has several drawbacks: 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 the pre-processing.

Therefore, it is better to cook minced meat on your own, acquiring for this the neck part, parts of the back, lean beef brisket. These parts of beef contain more collagen - they improve the taste of the dish.

Speaking about the preparation of meat, it must be carefully cleaned - to remove unnecessary fat, cartilage and connective tissue.
You can also use a meat grinder for grinding, but then part 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. While chopping meat, you can add beef kidney fat (one-fourth of the amount of meat), which will make the cutlets more juicy. To chopped meat with fat, add a crumb of bread, which is dipped in milk. It is advisable to use white bread and not fresh pastries, let it be a little stale.

Beef cutlets - preparing dishes

It is necessary to fry cutlets in a pan, the type of coating of which is not so important. It is better to pay attention to something else: during frying, meat juice is released from the cutlets, which will burn. Therefore, after some time of frying the next portion of cutlets, black blotches may appear on them. Then it is better to start frying in the second pan, and the first one should be washed.

Beef cutlets - useful tips from experienced chefs

- about bread. Some say that it is not necessary 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 keep the juice in the cutlets. After all, the connection of fibers in meat passed through a meat grinder is broken - the juice will simply flow out when frying. While the bread absorbs this juice, because the cutlets are 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 white quickly folds when frying, and this contributes to the loss of cutlet juice.

- about the bow. Experienced housewives believe that chopped onions should be added to minced meat not raw, but lightly browned in butter. Raw onions make cooked cutlets coarser.

- about water. Experienced cooks make cutlets more juicy by adding some very cold water or finely crushed ice to the minced meat. This contributes to the fact 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 the measure. If too much water is added, then the patties may begin to fall apart.

- about fat. The best option for frying cutlets is ghee. You can also use pork lard. If not, then fry in vegetable oil.

The prepared treat pleases the eye and stimulates the appetite not only in adults, but also in babies. They can be served with any side dishes, put in sandwiches for an appetizer, or wrapped for a child at school as an afternoon snack. The main thing is to take into account some simple secrets and put a piece of your soul into the cooking process.

The dish despairs of the variability of execution - in order to make the taste softer or add piquant notes to it, a filling is often put into the cutlet - for example, a piece of butter.

In a difficult situation, minced meat cutlet recipes can come to the rescue - this is due to the fact that they are cooked quickly, while a minimum set of products is required. This dish is the key to recognition and success. Rest assured, the household will appreciate a hearty dinner.
