Beef cutlets in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This cooking method allows you to use less oil than pan frying. Adding carrots will make the patties juicy and tender. Instead of semolina, you can add breadcrumbs or fine oat flakes to the meat mixture for binding. You can use any spices to suit your taste and add your favorite herbs. If the mixture turns out too dense, add a little cold water—this will make the patties juicier. Serve the finished dish immediately.

Cover the bowl with the minced meat mixture with a clean towel and let it sit for 20 minutes so the semolina can swell. Mix the meat mixture again and thoroughly beat until dense. To do this, gather the mixture in your hand, lift it above the bowl, and drop it back in. Repeat this 10–15 times.

Pour a little water into a baking dish and line it with parchment paper, then grease with vegetable oil. Divide the minced meat into equal portions—I have six—and with wet hands, shape them into round patties. Place the beef patties into the baking dish.
