Cutlets
Description
I'll share my secret with you: process all the ingredients through a meat grinder according to the recipe. But don't do it all at once—better to grind each ingredient separately and then mix them together afterward. Use slightly fatty beef, and you can add a bit of pork mince to it. This will make the patties juicier.

5. According to the GOST recipe, a cutlet should weigh 75 grams. Shape the cutlet from the minced meat with your hands and coat it in breadcrumbs. Give it a slightly pointed shape, but do not toss it from hand to hand; instead, gently press it between your palms.

6. To prevent the patties from falling apart during frying, let them rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes. Heat the skillet thoroughly, but fry the patties over low heat until they develop a golden crust.
