Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 100 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 50 ml low-fat milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Add the whole wheat breadcrumbs to the bowl. Pour the low-fat milk over the breadcrumbs to moisten them slightly.
Crack the egg into the meat mixture, add the chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Do not over-mix, as this can toughen the meat.
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Place them on a plate and let them rest in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while cooking.
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat the pan with olive oil spray.
Fry the cutlets in the pan for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Once cooked, remove the cutlets from the pan and let them rest on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the meat cutlets hot with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
