Cutlets under sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Almost everyone loves meat patties. Many people cook this dish, but few use sauce with their patties. Using exactly this kind of sauce gives the patties a whole new flavor. Baking the patties in the oven makes them more tender, delicious, soft, and juicy. The sauce complements the patties and makes them less ordinary. Therefore, I highly recommend paying attention to my recipe. The finished dish can be served at the table.

Step 1
To prepare cutlets with "Béchamel" sauce, you need ground meat. I use mixed ground meat (beef and pork in equal proportions). Place the meat in a container.

Step 4
Form patties from the prepared mince. Heat a frying pan and sear the patties on both sides. The patties may remain slightly undercooked, as we will bake them in the oven afterwards, where they will cook through completely. During the frying stage, our goal is simply to achieve a nice browning.

Step 5
In another skillet, prepare the "Béchamel" sauce. To do this, melt the butter in a skillet. Add dry flour to the skillet. Sauté the flour with butter for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until you detect a nutty aroma. The flour may change color slightly, but no more than by one shade. Do not overcook the flour.

Step 6
Pour the cream into the pan. I'm using 10% fat cream. Quickly mix it with the flour mixture. The flour will dissolve in the cream. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add a little ground black pepper, a pinch of ground nutmeg (essential), and salt to taste to the béchamel sauce. Mix well.
