Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Red chili powder
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 Bread slices
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 3 cups Oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, red chili powder, ground black pepper, salt, and chopped cilantro.
Soak the bread slices in the milk for 30 seconds, then squeeze out the excess milk and crumble the bread into the bowl with the beef mixture.
Mix everything thoroughly using your hands or a fork until fully combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a flat, oval cutlet about 1/2 inch thick.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each cutlet first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it next into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, and then press it into the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F). You can test this by dropping a small breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the surface.
Fry the cutlets in batches, 2-3 at a time, without overcrowding the pan, for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove the cutlets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crisp fried beef cutlets hot with your choice of dipping sauce or as a side dish with rice or salad.
